Respondent was adjudicated a sexually violent person (SVP) in 2010. Court's 2016 judgmernt finding no probable cause to hold an evidentiary hearing on whether Respondent is still an SVP was proper. Section 65(b)(1) of SVP Commitment Act did not impose a legal duty on court to admit the 2016 reexamination report, which became available only after the parties had rested, and thus court did not abuse its discretion by excluding that report.(SCHOSTOK and SPENCER, concurring.)
