Julius Oshomwen Ohenhen

Appellant

Julius Ohenhen, acting in person

Paul Burstein, acting as amicus curiae

Jean D. Buie for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

Riun Shandler for the respondent

Heard: November 20, 2008

On appeal from the disposition by the Ontario Review Board detaining the appellant at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, dated July 23, 2007

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] At the oral hearing of this appeal, Mr. Ohenhen concedes that he obtained the disposition which he was seeking in terms of placement. Given the uncontroverted evidence that he continued to present a significant threat to the public, the Board was fully justified in its disposition and in rejecting the appellant’s request for an absolute discharge.

[2] Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
