ORDER

MYRON H. THOMPSON, District Judge.

Defendant Joseph Horne is before the court for sentencing on one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). He filed a motion for a mental-health evaluation for the purposes of sentencing and for funds to complete the mental-health evaluation. Based on the representations made in open court on January 9, 2019, and based on defense counsel's further explanation that Horne wants an in-depth, longitudinal evaluation at a Bureau of Prisons facility, the court concludes that Horne's motion will be granted to the extent that he wants a mental-health evaluation and that he will receive an in-depth, longitudinal evaluation at the Bureau of Prisons.
