For the petitioner-respondent the cause was argued by Warren D. Weinstein, assistant attorney general, with whom on the brief wa James E. Doyle, attorney general.

¶ 1. PER CURIAM.

After examination of the record and the briefs of the parties, and after hearing oral argument, we conclude that the petition for review was improvidently granted.[1] Derek Miller, the petitioner, stipulated that he was a sexually violent person and raised issues about his placement. Because the statutes at issue have changed since the petitioner’s case arose and the court of appeals has adequately addressed the issues raised by the parties, we conclude that this case does not meet our standards for review.

By the Court. — The review of the decision of the court of appeals is dismissed as improvidently granted.

¶ 2. DAVID T. PROSSER, J., did not participate.
