YETKA, Justice.

D. L. was committed to a state hospital as a psychopathic personality in 1979. In 1980, he petitioned the Anoka County Probate Court for a change of commitment status under Minn.Stat. § 253A.19 (1980), alleging that he no longer had a psychopathic personality. The probate court dismissed his petition on the ground that he was really seeking a discharge and Minn.Stat. § 253A.15 (1980) provided the exclusive remedy for discharge of someone with a psychopathic personality. A three-judge district court panel affirmed, and petitioner brought this appeal. We affirm.
