1Opinion of the CourtNares, J.
*886Joseph Bocklett appeals from a jury verdict adjudicating him a sexually violent predator (SVP) under the Sexually Violent Predators Act (the Act) ( Welf. & Inst. Code,1 § 6600 et seq. ). On appeal, he challenges the constitutionality of Penal Code section 3000, subdivision (a)(4) (hereafter Penal Code section 3000(a)(4) ), which tolls the parole period for an SVP on equal protection and ex post facto grounds. He also asserts that the procedure for obtaining conditional release under the Act violates equal protection. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
