U.S. v. CLARK

On March 10, 2011, a hearing was held on the issue of Defendant Jason O. Clark's competency to stand trial. The parties stipulated that the Court could consider the Forensic Evaluation of February 8, 2011, prepared by Lisa Hope, Psy.D., Forensic Psychologist, and Jessica Hinman, M.S., Forensic Psychology Intern, and reviewed by Ralph Ihle, Ph.D., Chief Forensic Psychologist, of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, California.

Hays.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Defendant Jason O. Clark is found to be competent to stand trial.
