Brown v. Watters

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying plaintiffs' habeas petition challenging on due process grounds his civil commitment as sexually violent person (following criminal sexual assault convictions) where said commitment was based on diagnoses of paraphilia NOS nonconsent and antisocial personality disorder. Both diagnoses qualified as mental disorders as defined by Wisc. statute, and while medical opinions differed as to whether plaintiff had likelihood of recidivism or whether identified conditions were cognizable disorders requiring additional commitment, evidence upon which diagnoses were based supported plaintiff's continued commitment.
