ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
BREYER, District Judge.
A jury in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Alameda found petitioner to be a sexually violent predator under California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act, Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 6600 (“SVPA”), and civilly committed him to Atascadero State Hospital for a period of two years. Petitioner unsuccessfully appealed to the California Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of California, which on August 29, 2001 denied review. (The state high court also rejected two requests for habeas relief.)
