Based on this court's Order dated August 17, 2011 directing that Mr. Chavira-Nunez be evaluated to determine his competency to stand trial, it is
ORDERED that the Defendant, Joel Chavira-Nunez shall be committed to a federal medical center for the purpose of conducting a competency evaluation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241(b) and (c).
Accordingly, and within 90 days, the United States Bureau of Prisons shall provide a written competency evaluation advising the Court concerning Defendant's mental condition and competency to proceed in this criminal action. Based on the written evaluation, the court will schedule a further hearing to determine how best to proceed in this case, either to proceed with a trial setting, or, if appropriate, to order treatment to restore competency. Speedy trial deadlines are tolled pending determination of competency.
