Highlight

A district court's decision whether to require an individual to be restrained during a civil commitment proceeding is reviewed for an abuse of discretion.
An individualized determination that restraints are necessary must be made after an individual requests that the restraints be removed. Restraints should not exceed what the particular situation requires.
The determination whether restraints are necessary requires an individualized determination on the record of the individual's record, temperament, and desperateness of his situation; the security situation at the courtroom and courthouse; the individual's physical condition; and whether there was an adequate means of providing security that was less prejudicial.
A district court abuses its discretion when it fails to make an independent assessment whether to require an individual to remain restrained during a civil commitment hearing.
