Gross, Assistant Attorney General, St. Paul, Minnesota; and Christopher Karpan, Douglas County Attorney, Alexandria, Minnesota (for respondent) Considered and decided by Bjorkman, Presiding Judge; Stoneburner, Judge; and Randall, Judge. SYLLABUS A district court's decision whether to order indeterminate commitment of an individual as a sexually dangerous person (SDP) is based only on whether the individual continues to meet the statutory definition of an SDP after the initial commitment period. A treatment facility's failure to provide treatment during the initial commitment period has no bearing on the district court's decision.
