P. v. Chavez
Raymond Baldonado Chavez appeals a judgment, following a jury trial, which orders him recommitted to the California Department of Mental Health (CDMH) for treatment as a sexually violent predator (SVP). (Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.) We conclude that: 1) substantial evidence supports the findings that Chavez is an SVP who is likely to engage in sexually violent conduct if released and 2) the SVP Act does not violate the ex post facto or the equal protection clauses of the United States Constitution. Court affirm.
