OPINION

CLEARY, Chief Judge.

The Ramsey County Attorney filed a petition for judicial commitment of appellant Brent Charles Nielsen as a sexually dangerous person (SDP) and a sexual psychopathic personality (SPP). Appellant opposed the petition, arguing that it was premature because he was indefinitely incarcerated with the commissioner of corrections, and because the district court lacked subject-matter and personal jurisdiction. Since MinmStat. § 253D.09(b) gives a county attorney broad authority to file a petition for judicial commitment in district court, we affirm.
