Abstract: 

The Minnesota Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court’s ruling that a person who is civilly committed may not petition for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he was denied a statutory right to counsel in a civil commitment proceeding, and that the Constitution’s Due Process Clause does not confer a right to counsel on a person who is the subject of a civil commitment proceeding.
