On November 7, 2005, Defendant filed a motion for a judicial determination of mental competency. Defendant was examined by Trent H. Evans, Ph.D., a forensic psychologist. It is the opinion of Dr. Evans that Defendant is competent to stand trial.

ORDERED that Defendant's motion for judicial determination of mental competency is granted, the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Robert Larsen is adopted in its entirety, and this court finds that Defendant is competent to stand trial. It is further
ORDERED that this case is set for trial on the joint criminal jury trial docket commencing March 20, 2006. It is further
ORDERED that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1)(A), the time between November 7, 2005, and the date of this order is excluded in computing the time within which the trial of this criminal action must commence.
