UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. DEVIN SILVA, Defendant.
ORDER
ANALISA TORRES, DISTRICT JUDGE:
On December 7, 2023, the Court appointed Neil Blumberg, M.D., to conduct an examination of Defendant, Devin Silva, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241(b). ECF No. 50. On January 15, 2024, Dr. Blumberg provided his report to the Court, and opined that Silva is “not 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.” ECF No. 53 at 7. By letter dated January 19, 2024, Silva's counsel informed the Court that he “do[es] not object to the findings and conclusions in Dr. Blumberg's report,” and requested that the Court schedule a change-of-plea hearing. ECF No. 52.
The report has been filed under seal, see ECF No. 53, because it contains sensitive medical information.
Accordingly, the Court shall hold a change-of-plea hearing on February 6, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., in Courtroom 15D of the United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007.
SO ORDERED.
