ORDER
DOUGLAS HARPOOL, District Judge.
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. (Doc. 69) The Magistrate Judge recommends that Defendant's pro se Motion for Bi-Annual Conditional Release Discharge Hearing Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 247(h) [sic] (Doc. 68) be denied because Defendant's counsel did not file the motion.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 4247(h), "counsel for the person or his legal guardian may, at any time during such person's commitment, file with the court that ordered the commitment a motion for a hearing to determine whether the person should be discharged from such facility . . ." Defendant himself is not authorized under § 4247 to file a motion for a hearing.
After careful review, the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge's legal conclusion and hereby ADOPTS his Report and Recommendation. The Court DENIES Defendant's Motion as unauthorized under 18 U.S.C. § 4247(h).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
