OPINION
LANSING, Judge.
Terrance Giem appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, the county’s petition to commit him as a sexually dangerous person and a sexual psychopathic personality. Because we conclude that Minn.Stat. § 253B.08 (Supp.2005) does not define or limit subject-matter jurisdiction but does confer statutory rights subject to waiver, and because the district court did not err in its findings or conclusion that Giem’s conduct waived his statutory rights, we affirm.
