Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Sexually Violent Persons — petition for discharge — evidentiary hearings
Jay Warren Downs appeals from an order that dismissed his petition for discharge from his commitment as a sexually violent person. He contends that the circuit court erred by dismissing the petition without granting him an evidentiary hearing. Because we conclude that Downs did not support his petition with evidence of his progress since the date of his last discharge hearing, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
