JOEL GARCIA-REYES,
Defendant.

Case No. 6:13-cv-3119-MDH

ORDER
Pursuant to the governing law and in accordance with Local Rule 72.1 of the United
States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, the petition herein for determination of
defendant’s mental condition was referred to the United States Magistrate Judge for preliminary
review under § 636 (b), Title 28, United States Code.
The United States Magistrate Judge has completed his preliminary review of the petition
for determination of defendant’s mental condition and has submitted a report and
recommendation to the undersigned (Doc. No. 12). Defendant did not file exceptions to the
report and recommendation and the time for objections has expired.
Therefore, after a careful review of the files and records, the Court adopts the findings
and recommendations of the United States Magistrate Judge. The expert opinions establish by a
preponderance of the evidence that the defendant suffers from a mental disease or defect, and is
in need of care and treatment in a suitable facility. See 18 U.S.C. § 4245.
It is THEREFORE ORDERED that the report and recommendation of the United States
Magistrate Judge are ADOPTED.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that defendant be, and is, hereby, committed to the custody
of the Attorney General for hospital care and treatment in a suitable facility until defendant is no
longer in need of care and treatment in such a facility, or until the expiration of his sentence of
imprisonment, whichever occurs earlier.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED:

June 4, 2014
