APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT



[1]

We reject the appellants submission that the respondent must show
    evidence of untreatability to sustain a dangerous offender order.

[2]

Here the trial judge correctly asked himself whether there was a
    reasonable possibility of eventual control in the community of the risk posed
    by the appellant.  There was ample evidence, all of which was carefully
    considered by the trial judge, to support his conclusion that the evidence fell
    far short of providing any such reasonable possibility.

[3]

The appeal is dismissed.
