                              Matter of Wolff
                               No. 20220160

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jeffrey Wolff appeals from an order denying his petition for discharge
from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. Wolff argues the
district court erred when it found there was clear and convincing evidence that
he has a serious difficulty controlling his behavior. Applying our modified
clearly erroneous standard of review, see In re Carter, 2019 ND 112, ¶ 3, 924
N.W.2d 112, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
