Defendant.
______________________________/
ORDER EXTENDING DEFENDANT’S HOSPITALIZATION THIS CAUSE comes before the court on the Forensic Evaluation submitted to the Court by the Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center on August 13, 2007. This report recommends that Defendant be committed to the Federal Medical Center for an additional four months in order for his mental treatment to continue. With this additional treatment, his doctors believe that there is a substantial probability that Defendant Sheffield will become competent to stand trial.
This Court agrees with the recommendation made by Sheffield’s doctors. Based on this report and in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 4241(d)(2), this Court finds that there is a substantial probability that with an additional four months at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, Defendant Sheffield will
