     VS.                                                  CASE NO. 6:21-cr-141-RBD-NWH

     EMMET BOWENS
                                                  /

                                                  ORDER

            On October 8, 2025, the undersigned held a competency hearing as to

     Defendant Emmet Bowens. (Doc. 153). At the hearing, counsel for both sides stated

     on the record that there were no objections to the evaluation of Dr. Brianna Grover,

     Psy.D., (Docs. 146, 147), or this Court’s finding on the record that Defendant Bowens

     was competent to proceed in this case. Based on these representations, and finding no

     objection by the United States or Defendant Bowens, I find that Defendant Emmet

     Bowens’ mental competency is no longer in question. I further find by a preponderance

     of the evidence that Defendant Emmet Bowens is able to understand the nature and

     consequences of the proceedings against him and to assist properly in his defense, and

     therefore he is competent to stand trial. See 18 U.S.C. §4241(d).1




            1
                The undersigned is able to make this finding by an Order as opposed to a Report and
     Recommendation pursuant to the February 9, 2024 Amended Order filed in In re: Administrative Orders
     of the Chief Judge, Case No. 3:21-mc-1-TJC, Doc. 127, at 4 (authorizing a Magistrate Judge to conduct
     proceedings and issue an order as to “[a] psychiatric or psychological report to determine competency
     under 18 U.S.C. § 4241 and a competency hearing, except that a magistrate judge must file a report
     and recommendation concerning a defendant’s competency if the parties dispute the defendants’
     competency.”).
