P. v. McCloud CA1/2
This appeal takes as its predicate the differing statutory procedures by which a person may seek release from confinement after being adjudicated a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP), or a Mentally Disordered Offender (MDO), or Not Guilty by reason of Insanity (NGI). The dispositive issue is whether substantial evidence supports the conclusion that a compelling state interest justifies the disparate treatment, and thus the more onerous procedures for SVPs do not violate the guarantee of the equal protection of the law. It does, so we affirm.
