Judge Metzen's Due Process Review

 To: Judge Michael J. Mayer

Dakota County Government Center 1560 Highway 55

Hastings, MN. 55033 Dear Judge Mayer

Court File No. 19-PS-05-010260

RE: Original Commitment Violated Due Process

(10/10/25 Defenses Funds Motion Still Unanswered)

Dear Judge Mayer,

I excelled in prison: I completed a 6 month CD program; did an additional 6 months of CD; completed Relapse Prevention; Taking Responsibility for Attitude & Change (TRAC) program; Critical Thinking Skills; Anger Management twice, a Parenting course, and computer courses.

You acknowledged society success in Your Initial Commitment Order Finding: "87.

Respondent attended AA at least weekly,found employment and an apartment. He developed friends and a support network at AA. One of his employers spoke highly of Respondent and his work ethic. Respondent testified that he has spent more than half his life in jail or prison but that he has changed now because he is remianing sober. "

Your Initail Commitment Order's Conlclusion of Law, only gave me this diagnosis: "4.

Respondent's diagnosed antisocial personality disorder, ..., satisfies the statutory requirement that Respondent had/has manifested ..."

You included "had" in Your disorder finding because of my rehabilitative success in prison and successful reintegration in society. Had is not the "present" standard. Had is "remission".

There was no legitimate evidence of a severe/present disorder or of present dangerousness.

See enclosed "Affidavit: Medical Records Support Detention Improper".

Judge Leslie Metzen's recent November 12, 2025, CAP Court Order, implies my Dakota County commitment violated my due process rights (See Commit Appeal Panel AP23-9061).

Joseph Harju's CAP Finding: "Petitioner does not have a full Antisocial Personality Disorder nor was there clear and convincing evidence that Petitioner's personality disorder was so severe and present to satisfy the mental illness or mental abnormality prong of due process."

Judge Metzen gave Mr. Harju a full discharge because personality disorder in "remission".

I saved money and have outside resources to be successful again - Commitment Improper.

CONCLUSION

      Clinical staff are only in the MSOP Hospital on business hours and never around.after their eight hour shift is over, or on the weekends, or holidays. The above 8 Hospital employees interact with me all the time (weekends and holidays too) and many have known me for over a decade. Staff do not have to have a degree to render an opinion because they're treatment involved 24/7 for years. I have never been sexually inappropriate in over 19 years in MSOP - staff do not find me dangerous.

Pursuant to penalty of perjury under Minn. Stat.  358.116 & 28 U.S.C.  1746, I swear the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge & ability. By Christopher R. Krych:
