North Dakota Supreme Court

Interest of Hoff

October 9, 20252025 ND 164

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court reversed the district court’s order denying Hoff’s discharge because the court failed to make specific factual findings showing Hoff’s serious difficulty controlling his sexual behavior, and remanded for further findings. The decision rests on the requirement that the State prove, by clear and convincing evidence, a nexus between the disorder and inability to control behavior.
