ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the court is a report and recommendation of the United States magistrate judge
regarding the Defendant’s competency for trial. The parties verbally waived their right to file
objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation that the Defendant is competent to
proceed. Having conducted an independent review, the court concludes that the Defendant is
competent to stand trial because he is able to understand the nature and consequences of the
proceedings against him And is able to assist his attorney in his defense. It is therefore
ORDERED that the report and recommendation of the United States magistrate judge
on the Defendant’s competency to stand trial is ADOPTED. The court finds that the
Defendant, Juan Arturo Mendoza, is competent. The speedy trial time shall be excluded from
September 16, 2025 until the date of this order.
