Sexually Violent Persons
Petitions for discharge; dismissal
Kenneth R. Parrish appeals from an order dismissing his petition for discharge as a sexually violent person under Chapter 980 of the Wisconsin Statutes on the grounds that: (1) the trial court prematurely dismissed his petition even though he requested and was entitled to the appointment of an examiner pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 980.07(1) (2009-10) before an evaluation of his petition; and (2) the trial court erred in dismissing the petition because the allegation of a change in diagnosis was sufficient to require a hearing on the petition. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
