P. v. Redding CA2/6
Billy Ray Redding is committed for an indeterminate term of treatment as a sexually violent predator (SVP). (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 6604.) He appeals from an order summarily denying his petition for conditional release as frivolous. (§ 6608, subd. (a).) He contends (1) his petition is not frivolous; (2) the SVP law violates his rights to due process and equal protection because it does not allow him to petition for immediate unconditional release; and (3) it violates his right to equal protection because similarly situated committed people who petition for release are not subject to threshold review for frivolousness. We affirm.
