              JOINT MONTHLY COMPETENCY STATUS REPORT

        The undersigned counsel for the Defendant, Emmet Bowens (“Mr.

  Bowens”), and the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney for the

  government, hereby jointly state as follows regarding the Defendant’s status:

        Since the filing of the last status report in March of 2023 (Doc. 99), the parties

  have learned that Mr. Bowens failed to report to the Federal Medical Center in

  Butner, North Carolina (“FMC Butner”) for restoration treatment, as previously

  ordered by the Court. See Doc. 78. Therefore, Mr. Bowens’ competency restoration

  treatment has not commenced. The Court has issued a warrant for Mr. Bowens’

  arrest based on his failure to appear at FMC Butner as directed. The parties have

  no further information to report concerning Mr. Bowens’ competency status.

        On August 2, 2022, the Court entered an Order directing the parties to

  provide joint status reports to the Court, every thirty days, regarding the

  Defendant’s competency. Doc. 80. Based on Mr. Bowens’ current status and the
Case 6:21-cr-00141-RBD-NWH       Document 103     Filed 04/10/23   Page 2 of 3 PageID 296




  fact that his whereabouts are unknown, the parties jointly request that the Court

  stay the requirement that the parties file joint status reports until such time as Mr.

  Bowens is located. If and when Mr. Bowens is located and is at FMC Butner, the

  parties will resume submitting joint status reports to the Court.

        WHEREFORE, the parties jointly request that the Court stay its prior Order

  requiring the submission of monthly joint status reports (Doc. 80) until such time

  as the Defendant is located and has started his competency restoration treatment

  at FMC Butner.

        Respectfully submitted on this 10th day of April, 2023.
