Opinion
Criminal Case No. 11-cr-00361-WYD
04-12-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. 1. THOMAS DANIEL SANCHEZ, Defendant.
ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on review of the file and correspondence received from Warden Marion Feather at the Federal Detention Center, SeaTac, Seattle, Washington.
By way of background I note that on February 9, 2012, I ordered that Defendant be committed to the custody of the Attorney General for a psychiatric or psychological evaluation for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days unless an extension is requested and granted. However, Defendant did not arrive at FDC SeaTac for evaluation until March 12, 2012. On March 22, 2012, on the request of Warden Feather, I ordered that the 30-days allotted for Defendant's evaluation begin on March 12, 2012, that the study period end on April 11, 2012, and that the final report be submitted to the Court no later than April 25, 2012.
On April 9, 2012, Warden Feather requested an additional extension of time to complete Defendant's evaluation due to voluminous amounts of investigative and medical records that must be reviewed.
Upon review of the request and the file in this matter, I find that a 15-day extension is warranted. Therefore, I find that the evaluation study period shall end on April 26, 2012, and the final report shall be submitted to the Court no later than May 10, 2012.
