ROBERT BELL, Chief District Judge

The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation filed by the United States Magistrate in this action. The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties.

Upon careful review of the Report and Recommendation and the objections filed by both the government and the defendant, the Report and Recommendation is hereby adopted as the opinion of the Court.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the charges in this matter are hereby DISMISSED as the defendant is not competent to stand trial.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that defendant is returned to the custody of the Attorney General for designation to a Medical Referral Center to undergo a risk assessment in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 4246, to determine whether or not the defendant's release would create a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person or serious damage to the property of another.
