[¶1] O.H.W. 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.

The finding is not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
