1Opinion of the Court
RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
In 1998, a Wisconsin court ordered that Bruce Brown be committed civilly as a “sexually violent person” (“SVP”) pursuant to Chapter 980 of the Wisconsin Statutes. In 2006, Mr. Brown filed a petition for habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. He contended that his continued state custody deprived him of his right to due process of law. The district court denied the writ but issued a certificate of appealability on that issue. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
