Matter of Didier No. 20210325 Per Curiam. [¶1] Lawrence Didier appeals from the district court’s order denying his application for discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual. He argues the court’s finding that he has serious difficulty controlling his behavior is not supported by clear and convincing evidence.

Under our modified clearly erroneous standard of review, clear and convincing evidence exists for the court’s finding Didier has serious difficulty controlling his behavior. The court’s finding is not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J.
