District: 
1st Dist. Rule 23 Order.
This case presents question as to whether trial court deprived petitioner of due process and equal protection when it found petitioner to be sexually dangerous person under Sexually Dangerous Persons Act after having denied petitioner's motion to retain/appoint third expert witness. Appellate Court, in affirming trial court's denial, found that trial court's appointment of two psychiatrists to evaluate petitioner, one of whom was with Forensic Clinical Services, complied with applicable provisions of SDPA.
