DEFENDANT DR. WETSELAAR'S MOTION REQUESTING PAYMENT OF DR. BROWN'S FEES IN CONNECTION WITH MENTAL COMPETENCY EVALUATION
CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.
COMES NOW, Defendant Henri Wetselaar, M.D., by and through his counsel, Jeffrey B. Setness of the law firm of Fabian VanCott, and hereby requests that the Court make payment to Dr. Brown in connection with the mental competency evaluation based upon the following:
1. On May 4, 2016, Magistrate Judge Hoffman signed an "Order to Determine Mental Competency of Defendant Henri Wetselaar, M.D." (Doc. No. 237) which stated, in pertinent part, as follows:
Dr. Brown currently estimates that he may be able to complete the evaluation in approximately three hours. However, if the records are voluminous, the amount of time needed to complete the evaluation will increase. Dr. Brown also noted that, if there has not been a neurological examination with MRIs, such an examination by a clinical neurologist will be required prior to Dr. Brown's evaluation.
Dr. Brown charges $600 per hour, and it is agreed that the Court will pay $400 per hour, and Dr. Wetselaar will pay the remaining $200 per hour. It also should be noted that the maximum amount that the Court can expend on such an examination is $5,000.00.
2. Please find attached a copy of Dr. Brown's billing statement indicating that the total due and payable is $2,850.00. Based upon the formula set forth in the Court's order, it appears that the Court will pay $1,900.00, and Dr. Wetselaar will pay $950.00.
ORDER
BASED UPON THE FOREGOING AND GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, IT IS ORDERED that the Court shall pay $1,900.00 to Dr. Brown, and Dr. Wetselaar shall pay $950.00 to Dr. Brown.
