P. v. Christian
A petition was filed to extend the commitment of defendant Kenneth William Christian as a sexually violent predator (SVP). (Welf. & Inst. Code, 6604.1, subd. (b).) Waiving his right to a jury trial and to confront and cross-examine witnesses, defendant submitted the matter on the written doctors reports for both the probable cause hearing regarding the matter and the decision whether he should be recommitted as a SVP. He did so with the understanding that different doctors would evaluate him regarding a subsequent recommitment proceeding.
Court find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant.
The judgment (order of recommitment) is affirmed.
