01/17/2008 DISP-APPROVED We answer the question in the affirmative and approve the decision below. Thus, we also agree with the Third District that Ward was subject to the Act based on his prior convictions for sexually violent offenses and his current confinement in state custody. Based on this conclusion, we lift the stay on Ward's commitment proceedings in the circuit court and remand this matter for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
