Seeboth v. Mayberg
Opinion
Opinion
Bea, J.
Petitioner-Appellant Timothy Seeboth appeals from the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253 , and we dismiss the appeal as moot.
I. Factual and Procedural Background
Over the course of more than 30 years, Seeboth was convicted nine times for crimes involving deviant sexual acts with children. Based on his convictions, See-both was first determined to be a sexually violent predator (“SVP”) in 1997 in a civil jury trial proceeding. See Sexually Violent Predators Act (“SVPA”) (codified at Cal. Welf. & Inst.Code §§ 6600-6609.3). He was held for consecutive two-year terms from 1997 until 2005, which terms are not challenged in this appeal. While Seeboth was still in custody for the 2003-05 term, the California District Attorney filed a petition in May 2005 to extend Seeboth’s commitment from the end of that 2003-05 term.
After a series of unsuccessful appeals and postconviction procedures in the California courts, Seeboth filed a federal habeas petition on February 7, 2008. The district court denied his habeas petition, and Seeboth appealed to this court.
