STATE OF WISCONSIN                    :  
  IN SUPREME COURT 
 
 
In re the Commitment of Derek Miller: 
 
State of Wisconsin,  
 
          Petitioner-Respondent, 
 
     v. 
 
Derek Miller,  
 
          Respondent-Appellant-Petitioner. 
 
 
REVIEW of a decision of the Court of Appeals.  Dismissed as 
improvidently granted. 
¶1 
PER CURIAM.   After examination of the record and the 
briefs of the parties, and after hearing oral argument, we 
conclude that the petition for review was improvidently granted.1 
 Derek Miller, the petitioner, stipulated that he was a sexually 
violent person and raised issues about his placement.  Because 
the statutes at issue have changed since the petitioner's case 
arose and the court of appeals has adequately addressed the 
issues raised by the parties, we conclude that this case does 
not meet our standards for review.
