Description
1. Dennis R. Thiel appeals from an order denying his petition for discharge from involuntary commitment pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 980.09(2) (2001-02). Thiel contends that because he submitted an examiners report recommending that the court grant him supervised release at his § 980.09(2) probable cause hearing, he established probable cause to believe that he is no longer a "sexually violent person" and a full evidentiary hearing on the issue is warranted. We hold that the question of whether an individual continues to be a "sexually violent person" is answered without reference to any specific restrictions, supervision or time frame and, therefore, probable cause to believe a person is no longer a "sexually violent person" is not satisfied by a recommendation of supervised release. We further conclude that the facts presented at the probable cause hearing do not otherwise establish that Thiel is no longer a "sexually violent person." We also hold that Wis. Stat. § 808.08(3), which places the duty on the parties to initiate further proceedings in the circuit court after remand, did not violate Thiels due process right to a timely probable cause hearing. We affirm.
