Sexually Violent Persons — discharge

Phillip Gadzinski appeals an order denying his petition for discharge from a Wis. Stat. ch. 980 commitment. The circuit court denied Gadzinski’s petition without a discharge hearing, concluding the petition did not set forth any new evidence, not considered at the original commitment trial, from which a reasonable fact finder could conclude Gadzinski did not meet the criteria for commitment as a sexually violent person. Gadzinski argues his petition was sufficient to warrant a discharge hearing. We reject his argument and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
