P. v. Norris
Defendant Norris was first committed to Atascadero State Hospital as a sexually violent predator (SVP) pursuant to the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVPA) in 2000.[1] (Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.)[2] Subsequent petitions to extend defendants commitment period were filed, and the two most recent ones were consolidated for trial. Following the jurys verdict finding that defendant is an SVP, the court ordered his commitment extended for two consecutive two-year periods, from October 19, 2004, to October 19, 2008. Defendant appeals from that order. On appeal he contends that the court misinstructed the jury and violated his due process rights. Court affirm.
