Description

Petitioners are a number of individuals who have been subjected to involuntary two-year commitments pursuant to the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVPA; Welf. & Inst. Code, 6600 et seq.) and had petitions to extend their commitments pending when SB 1128 was passed and when Proposition 83 was passed in the November 2006 general election. They seek a writ of mandate or prohibition directing the Sacramento County Superior Court to vacate its order finding the court has jurisdiction to proceed on petitions to extend their commitments. Petitioners contend the court has no jurisdiction because SB 1128 and then Proposition 83 amended the SVPA to delete all provisions for proceedings to extend commitments. Absent statutory authority to extend their commitments, petitioners contend they must be released.
