While in prison on 2 counts of predatory sexual assault of a child, Respondent stipulated that he was a sexually violent person. Appellate court does not have jurisdiction to address Respondent's motion to dismiss, as order that Respondent be committed to DHS for institutional care in a secure facility was not a final and appealable order. Court properly struck Respondent's habeas corpus petition, as delay in State's filing reexamination report could not be a ground for his immediate dismissal from custody.(PIERCE and SIMON, concurring.)
