Opinion

          BENJAMIN B. WAGNER, United States Attorney, VINCENZA RABENN, Assistant United States Attorney, Fresno, CA, Attorneys for Plaintiff, United States of America.


          ORDER

          ANTHONY W. ISHII, Senior District Judge.

         On October 19, 2015, an oral motion was made on behalf of the defendant, ISMAEL OLIVERA-RUELAS, requesting an order for psychiatric examination pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241. The government had no objection to the relief requested. Upon consideration, the Court finds that there is reasonable cause to believe that the defendant may be presently suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him mentally incompetent to the extent that he is unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him or to assist properly in his defense.

         IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion for Psychiatric Examination pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241(b) and §§ 4247(b) & (c) is GRANTED. Defendant shall undergo a psychiatric examination at a federal facility designated by the Bureau of Prisons. The United States Marshals Service is directed to provide a copy of this Order to the Warden of the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners to which defendant ISMAEL-OLIVERA-RUELAS is committed for treatment.

         IT IS SO ORDERED.
