THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on receipt of a Forensic Evaluation from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, New York dated February 13, 2015. The Report concludes that the Defendant is currently suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent to proceed.

The Court conducted a competency hearing consistent with 18 U.S.C. § 4247(d). Based on all the evidence presented at the hearing and the overall record in the case, the Court concluded consistent with 18 U.S.C. § 4241(d) that the Defendant is not competent to proceed at this time.

3. The custodial treatment and evaluation described above shall be "for such a reasonable period of time, not to exceed four months," as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 4241(d); and "for an additional reasonable period of time until his mental condition is so improved that trial may proceed, if the Court finds that there is a substantial probability that within such additional period of time he will attain the capacity to permit the proceedings to go forward" as provided by § 4241(d)(2)(A).

4. The United States Marshal is directed to transport the Defendant to the selected treatment site at the earliest opportunity; the Defendant has requested to be placed at either Butner, North Carolina or Springfield, Missouri.
