Matter of Wegley

[¶1] James Wegley appeals a district court order continuing his commitment as a sexually dangerous individual.  Wegley argues the order was not supported by clear and convincing evidence.  Wegley also argues the court erred by not admitting certain exhibits he submitted at the review hearing.  We conclude the district court’s findings of fact are supported by the evidence and are not clearly erroneous, and the court’s refusal to admit the exhibits was not an abuse of discretion.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
