UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JUAN LUIS RIVERA ARREOLA (5)
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATON OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge regarding Defendant's competency for trial. The parties have not filed objections to the Report.
Having conducted an independent review, the Court concludes that Defendant is competent to stand trial because Defendant is able to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him, and able to assist his attorney in his defense.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge on Defendant's competency to stand trial is ADOPTED. It is further ORDERED that Defendant, Juan Luis Rivera Arreola, is competent. The speedy trial time is excluded from September 6, 2018, until the date of this Order.
SIGNED this 30th day of November, 2018.
