Docket entry
041954 Shivaee v. Commnwealth 06/09/2005 (Revised 12/09/2005) In considering appeals from two different trial court judgments of civil commitment under Virginia's Sexually Violent Predators Act (SVPA), it is held, contrary to the respondents' arguments in each case, that the SVPA comports with all constitutional requirements of due process and is not unconstitutional. Furthermore, the judgment of one trial court concerning the sufficiency of the evidence with respect to the respondent challenging that court's determination that he was a sexually violent predator was not plainly wrong or without evidence to support it. The judgments of the trial courts are affirmed in both cases.

Outcome words in this text: affirmed.
Method: an entry is marked with an outcome only when its own text contains the outcome word, and the word is shown beside it. Orders, opinions and judgments whose text does not say are marked Other. Party filings, notices and routine procedural orders (appearances, extra pages, time extensions, scheduling) are not listed. No link between this case and any other case is recorded in our data, so only this case's own record is shown. Open the court's docket
