OPINION

TRAXLER, Chief Judge:

This case arises out of the federal government's initiation of civil commitment proceedings against Clyde Hall via a certification that Hall is a "sexually dangerous person" under 18 U.S.C. § 4248. Following an evidentiary hearing, the district court found that the government had failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that Hall is sexually dangerous under the Act. We affirm.
