In re Commitment of Walker

Respondent was adjudicated a sexually violent person and committed to confinement in a secure facility. No due process violation in hearing, as court took substantial steps to ensure that Respondent understood stipulation as to findings and that Respondent is a sexually violent person; court asked Respondent whether he had gone over stipulation with his attorney and whether he had any questions. Court did not err in refusing to conduct evidentiary hearing on Respondent's motion to withdraw stipulation. Defendant failed to show prejudice in his allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel. (SCHOSTOK and SPENCE, concurring.)
