Mr. Coughlin:

Your email regarding your missing secure property was forwarded to me for response. I apologize for the delay

in responding to you but it took me a little while to figure out the issue.

Your two cell phones and electric razor were put into evidence at the request of Judge Nash-Holmes on

February 28, 2012. In order for us to release them to you, we will need an order from Judge Nash-Holmes that

the evidence can be released to you.

To make this matter smoother for you all documentation should reflect Washoe County Sheriffs Office case

number 12-1805 and evidence number C-47591. The court case number corresponding to this issue is

11TR26800.

If you have any questions all of my contact information is listed below.

Dear Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Jail,

The secured property returned to me today did not include either of my cellphones or the micro sd card that were listed on my check in sheet. My agent,Peter Eastman, did come and retrieve my keys and wallet, etc. (to help makesure my dog would not starve to death, and I am so thankful to you for lettinghim do that as animal control would have likely cost much money and I alreadyhad a $300 towing bill for my car upon being release from jail and I amliterally flat broke, and just had to pay my $450 per year bar dues and pay fortwelve credits of continuing legal education and my yearly CLE dues....so it

Nash-Holmes and the evidence envelope states that is what is in the envelope. As I do not work in or have

access to the evidence unit, I am relaying what they told me when they checked the envelope.

In response to your prior email, the property record form stated that there was a micro sd card. The

Authorizaon for Release of Property/Money w as dated 2-29-12 and signed by Mr. Eastman. The statement

he signed states that he acknowledged that he received the items listed on the property record form. I can

only assume that is the case as he signed the form and you authorized him to pick up the property.

So, are you saying you or your o ffice currently have an "evidence envelope" that contains

these items placed into "evidence" . Do you whether that comprots with previous

assertions made by your office or agents, or, if, in fact, it con tradicts representations as to

whom came and took what? If you still have any of this property in your possession,

please consider whether it is legal for you to allow the RMC or the Reno Marshal to come

check it out like a book from the l ibrary, or whether you have some liability if, oopsie,

something "disappears". Please ask Deputy Cheung about all of these circumstances

detailed in our correspondences and p rovide written documentation detailing his

responses. Further, please provide pictures of the evidence envelope and all the "evidence"

within such an envelope, inclu ding whether a micro sd card in within such materials or

whether such a card is somehow contained in one of the phones or otherwise instereted

into the same. Additionally, please indicate whether a phone battery or two is present.

Please ask yourself who is running what and whether th at is appropriate.

9 THE COURT: All right. Then this matter is here on

10 a report of psychiatric evaluation. There is a letter

11 here from Sally Farmer and Bill Davis. And have you

12 received this, Mr. Dogan?

13 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, can I have the Court's

14 indulgence?

15 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, can we approach?

16 THE COURT: Yes.

17 (A discussion was held off the record.)

18 THE COURT: Well, as a result of the hearing here

19 at the bench, the Coughlin matter will be continued to

20 the end of our docket so that we can take a recess now.

21 And the end of the docket means that it would be after

22 the 10 o'clock matter, because it's already 25 after

23 10:00 or so, and we need to get on with another matter

24 in that we have a lot of people here.


25/50

1 All right. So court will stand in recess.

2 (A recess was taken and the following

proceedings were had at 10:45 a.m.:)

3

4 THE COURT: As our next case then, we'll go back to

5 the 8:30 docket, and let's take Zachary Coughlin again.

6 Let's see if we can conclude that matter.

7 MR. YOUNG: Good morning, Your Honor.

8 THE DEFENDANT: Good morning, Your Honor.

9 THE COURT: And then we're here to discuss the

10 letter of April 17 that was sent out really to

11 Mr. Dogan with copies to me and Mr. Young from Sally

12 Farmer and Bill Davis who are psychologists at the

13 Lakes Crossing Center.

14 And, Mr. Dogan, do you want to explain this?

15 MR. DOGAN: Yes, Your Honor.

16 THE DEFENDANT: I'm sorry, Your Honor, if I can

17 interject quickly.

18 THE COURT: I'm asking Mr. Dogan to start.

19 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor, but before he puts

20 anything on the record, I'm going to ask to have him

21 withdrawn or--

22 MR. DOGAN: That would be a separate matter.

23 THE COURT: I'll go with Mr. Dogan.

24 THE DEFENDANT: Thank you, Your Honor.


26/50

5

1 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, if any issues are raised

2 regarding a motion to withdraw or anything dealing with

3 my representation of Mr. Coughlin, that would be a

4 separate hearing. That hearing will be under Young

5 versus State. Today we are here for one matter, and

6 that is the SB89 regarding my client's competency and

7 whether he's fit to proceed with adjudication.

8 Your Honor, I'm going to be requesting a short

9 two-week continuance in this case so that my client can

10 be evaluated by Lakes Crossing, by both Sally Farmer

11 and Dr. Davis.

12 My client has done all he can do to make his

13 scheduled appointments with both of the doctors in this

14 matter. And there have been some significant

15 difficulties with Mr. Coughlin being evaluated by both

16 of those doctors. However, I believe those

17 difficulties will be able to-- we'll iron them out and

18 we'll be able to get that competency evaluation for the

19 Court within two weeks.

20 THE COURT: So you're in essence telling me that

21 you believe at this point in time that your client is

22 willing to cooperate with an evaluator?

23 MR. DOGAN: I do, Your Honor. Your Honor, the

24 reason is because the Court has never-- we've never


27/50

6

1 appeared in court. And if Your Honor orders

2 Mr. Coughlin to cooperate and to obtain the

3 evaluations, by then we should be able to have those

4 evaluations for Court.

5 The one thing that I want to prevent in this case

6 is Mr. Coughlin being remanded into the custody of the

7 Washoe County Sheriff so that he can be evaluated while

8 he's at the Washoe County Jail. That's a huge concern

9 of mine. And I do not want Mr. Coughlin to be remanded

10 to the custody of the Sheriff.

11 Your Honor, the main reason is because Mr. Coughlin

12 is a licensed attorney. He does have clients and he's

13 representing those clients. If he is remanded into the

14 custody of the Sheriff, he will not be able to pursue

15 the litigation that he must while representing those

16 individuals, and his livelihood-- it will significantly

17 impact his livelihood. And, therefore, I'm going to

18 make that request, that this matter be continued

19 briefly for two weeks, Your Honor.

20 THE COURT: Well, clearly if he's not going to

21 cooperate out of custody, putting him into custody, you

22 know, and forcibly cooperating is the alternative, so

23 it has to be considered.

24 And, Mr. Young, what is the State's position?


28/50

7

1 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, I think Mr. Dogan

2 accurately stated that essentially your two

3 alternatives at this point are just to continue the

4 matter out a few weeks to give Mr. Coughlin an

5 opportunity to be evaluated or alternatively remand him

6 into custody where, as you stated, it would more or

7 less seek to-- that the evaluations take place.

8 I'm going to respectfully ask that you follow the

9 latter of those two alternatives. And if I could take

10 a minute to explain why I'm making that recommendation.

11 He was released for this case on a 1,500-dollar

12 bond that he posted. And obviously, one of the

13 conditions of somebody being released, whether it's

14 bond, OR or otherwise, is conditioned upon that

15 individual's good behavior. And what we have here is

16 an individual who-- The competency evaluation was

17 filed in Justice Court February 27th. The matter was

18 set to my knowledge for April 3rd in front of Your

19 Honor for the evaluation.

20 There was the request, albeit done by e-mail by

21 Mr. Coughlin in his personal capacity, but after

22 speaking with the court staff and Mr. Dogan, I agreed

23 to continue that out to give Mr. Coughlin the

24 opportunity to get his evaluations done.


29/50

8

1 We then go forward to today. And Your Honor has

2 already referenced the letter which talks about

3 threatening legal action against one of the evaluators,

4 showing up late to the scheduled appointment, taking

5 additional time to--

6 THE DEFENDANT: Object, Your Honor; hearsay.

7 THE COURT: Overruled.

8 THE DEFENDANT: Move to strike.

9 THE COURT: You're not in a position to object to

10 anything.

11 THE DEFENDANT: I understand that, Your Honor.

12 Respectfully, I submit that rather than having

13 handcuffs on me, by having Mr. Dogan as my attorney, I

14 would ask that I be allowed to represent myself.

15 THE COURT: You're in a position where, you know,

16 if you interrupt and cause trouble, you're going to be

17 taken into custody and then forcibly, you know, given

18 these evaluations, so if I were you, I would simply

19 cooperate with us and don't cause a problem.

20 All right. Mr. Young, you may proceed.

21 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, after showing up 20 minutes

22 late according to the letter, which is on file with the

23 court, he takes an additional ten minutes arguing with

24 security personnel and basically being completely


30/50

9

1 disruptive to the process.

2 The ironic thing about this is that this evaluation

3 is entirely for Mr. Coughlin's benefit. The threshold

4 question is: Is he competent to stand trial? But even

5 if he's-- if the evaluations come back that he is

6 competent, his attorney can use that to his benefit

7 with what's contained in the evaluations for any

8 potential negotiation purposes, sentencing, should we

9 get to that point, and the like.

10 And so through the actions of the defendant, not to

11 mention his previous statements that, one, he doesn't

12 even want to get evaluated for competency, and then

13 subsequent to that having a problem having Lakes

14 Crossing do that, at a minimum, his actions are not

15 evidencing good character as is required by his bail

16 being posted. At worst, it's completely

17 obstructionist.

18 And he is in the sole position to bring this entire

19 proceeding to a screeching halt if he continues this

20 behavior, showing up late, not cooperating with going

21 through evaluations which benefit him.

22 So based on that, Your Honor, what I would ask is

23 that you revoke the bond that was previously posted and

24 remand him into custody. We can set this for another


31/50

10

1 hearing consistent with the Court's calendar and the

2 evaluators at Lakes Crossing so that we can come back

3 to Your Honor and determine, which is the only

4 threshold question at this point, is he even competent

5 to go forward.

6 And, like I say, based on the actions in this case,

7 the correspondence sent to me, either cc'd or directly

8 from Mr. Coughlin, it's clear to the State that he's

9 just being an obstructionist through this entire

10 process, and so remand is appropriate to the State.

11 THE COURT: Well, Mr. Coughlin, we are at this

12 stage where you need to have this evaluation. And I

13 need to know, are you going to cooperate and go over to

14 Lakes Crossing and get the evaluation?

15 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, if I may address that

16 for a moment.

17 THE COURT: Please do.

18 THE DEFENDANT: Okay. Your Honor, there's been

19 some problems in terms of working with Mr. Dogan here.

20 I haven't been copied on filings to the Court. It's

21 always been my understanding, either by Mr. Dogan or by

22 the D.A., it's always been my understanding as an

23 attorney that that's just a matter of course, you copy

24 your clients on anything you file and anything you


32/50

11

1 receive.

2 Mr. Bosler, after I had complained of Mr. Dogan's

3 failure to so copy me in that regard, particularly with

4 respect to, say, this order for competency eval--

5 MR. DOGAN: For the record, that was provided to

6 Mr. Coughlin.

7 THE DEFENDANT: He might have e-mailed that to me,

8 but certainly documents such as the D.A.'s opposition

9 to my motion to appear as co-counsel and have

10 Mr. Dogan, I believe, withdraw as counsel, that was

11 never forwarded on to me despite my--

12 MR. DOGAN: For the record, that was also provided

13 to Mr. Coughlin.

14 THE DEFENDANT: Excuse me, sir. I would like to

15 have my opportunity now.

16 THE COURT: Go ahead.

17 THE DEFENDANT: I have provided Mr. Dogan express

18 written indication that I wish to be copied on every

19 single filing in this matter. In addition, matters

20 which perhaps are going to be subject to a work product

21 exception which the Public Defender would not have to

22 provide me, such as e-mails between Mr. Dogan and

23 Mr. Young, but I have expressly indicated in writing on

24 numerous times that I wished to be copied on that.


33/50

12

1 To get back-- I know this is getting somewhat far

2 afield, Your Honor, from what you prompted me to

3 address, but this competency evaluation, I would object

4 to this competency evaluation on a number of grounds.

5 One would be res judicata. There was already a

6 competency evaluation done. I passed with flying

7 colors.

8 Judge Sferrazza thought so much it that he

9 essentially folded it up into a paper airplane and went

10 like that (indicating) and sent it right back to

11 Mr. Goodnight, and the bill along with it. Whereupon

12 Mr. Goodnight promptly-- He's a Public Defender who

13 attended to the first competency evaluation.

14 Mr. Goodnight promptly asked to be allowed to withdraw.

15 And Judge Sferrazza sagely pointed out to

16 Mr. Goodnight the inequity and disingenuous of his so

17 standing behind a request for a competency evaluation

18 only to immediately thereafter seek to withdraw,

19 essentially saying: Which is it, Mr. Goodnight? Does

20 your client need a competency eval or is he so-- he

21 doesn't need you?

22 Your Honor, there's some legal points I would like

23 to put in the record here. NRS 178, I believe it's dot

24 455, but I could be wrong, but I did copy Mr. Dogan and


34/50

13

1 Mr. Young on this recently in writing, says that

2 motions have to be in writing. There was no written

3 motion in this regard. I've reviewed the file in the

4 Reno Justice Court. And this is the case with both of

5 the competency evaluations that have been ordered here.

6 And both of them, I believe, demonstrate a retaliatory

7 intent on the part of the Public Defender.

8 And Mr. Hunt who was testifying here earlier, well,

9 he went into matters to which I can't-- I can't say--

10 I know Mr. Dogan. We went to high school together.

11 We're both Reno High, I believe, class of '95-ish, from

12 Swope to Reno High. And I've never known him to be a

13 Jihadist or anything or that sort. You know--

14 MR. DOGAN: A Jihadist for the Public Defender,

15 though.

16 THE DEFENDANT: He's always been a bright guy with,

17 you know, a good sense of humor. So I can't concur

18 with Mr. Hunt's statements in that regard.

19 Now, respectfully, I can submit I've been shushed.

20 I've been told, you know, things similar to what was

21 being said.

22 I understand that the Public Defender is in a very

23 funny situation. It's a very-- It's got to be very

24 difficult. And I'll just say respectfully, Your Honor,


35/50

14

1 I was a domestic violence attorney for a legal aid

2 organization which I believe you're aware of attendant

3 to another case in your court, but I thought that stuff

4 was heavy to deal with on an emotional level. But

5 sitting here this morning, witnessing what the bench

6 and the Public Defender and the District Attorney have

7 to deal with, that they have to do in the course of

8 their business every day, it's-- I don't want to say

9 impressive, but it makes me have even more respect for

10 the court and the Public Defender and the District

11 Attorney, because these are heavy matters. These are

12 very human issues that you deal with here.

13 And I say that respectfully. Now I'm going to get

14 to what I wanted to say, which is somewhat critical.

15 And I just prefaced it with that respect, to point out

16 that I do even more so now comprehend the enormity of

17 the-- the heaviness and the emotional burden that you

18 and those at the bar here face every day.

19 But I have been shushed a lot. I've had Mr. Dogan

20 storm away from me. Granted, it's not easy to have an

21 attorney as a client.

22 THE COURT: Mr. Coughlin, you know, I have limited

23 time today to devote to this matter, and really what

24 you are facing is that I agree that you need this


36/50

15

1 evaluation, I want to see it, and either you agree that

2 you'll cooperate and go over to Lakes Crossing and get

3 the two evaluations or I will revoke your bail, put you

4 into custody and then as an in-custody you will be

5 evaluated.

6 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. And just quickly

7 for the record, I'll dispense with the frilly language

8 and extemporaneous, you know, speechmaking, but there

9 was no motion here made pursuant to 178, I believe dot

10 455. There needs to be in the records with the Justice

11 Court articulating an express basis for seeking this.

12 I believe there's a retaliatory basis.

13 Just days prior to this being made, and I believe

14 improper contact being made with the Municipal Court by

15 somebody with the Public Defender's, just days prior to

16 that, I filed a motion critical of Mr. Dogan missing a

17 hearing. In that regard, I believe there also needs to

18 be a hearing. There was no hearing in either of these

19 matters.

20 THE COURT: Mr. Coughlin, are you basically telling

21 me that you're not intending to get the evaluation,

22 that you're resisting--

23 THE DEFENDANT: No, sir, that's not what I'm

24 telling you. I'm saying--


37/50

16

1 THE COURT: Because if you're not going to do it on

2 your own, I'll put you in custody and we'll take care

3 of it that way.

4 THE DEFENDANT: I understand, Your Honor. And

5 that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is-- You

6 referenced this process. I believe if we're going to

7 call it a process, it needs to entail some process,

8 some due process hopefully.

9 And if I ask Mr. Dogan to conduct some Legal

10 research on-- which I have done, Your Honor, and I

11 would like to put forth some of these cases to you,

12 directed to the parameters of such competency

13 evaluation, directed to the privacy rights attendant to

14 one forced to undergo such an evaluation. I've simply

15 received no counsel or no advocacy in this regard from

16 the Public Defender. I've had meetings missed. I've

17 been told to shush. I've been told all sorts of things

18 that just frankly I'm taken aback by.

19 This evaluation, we have no idea of the scope of

20 this other than I'm given some indication by the

21 statute what it is directed to, my ability to

22 understand the proceedings, to assist Mr. Dogan in the

23 defense thereof. And there's one more element which

24 I'm blanking on right now, but it's substantially


38/50

17

1 similar to the first one.

2 It's not a-- it's not a blank check to

3 psychiatrists who have some sort of requirement

4 contract with the Public Defender, and I stated some--

5 or the court. I've stated some objections. I believe

6 I should be able to have a private psychologist

7 appropriately certified under NRS 178 to perform this.

8 I've been told no. I've been told I won't be

9 reimbursed in that regard.

10 But it's not a blank check, I don't believe, to

11 force me, someone who is seeking to take advantage of

12 my tax dollars at work by having my Sixth Amendment

13 right to counsel accorded to me. It's not a blank

14 check to Lakes Crossing to demand anything they want to

15 know about me, particularly when I'm involved in a

16 field where mendacious and scurrilous individuals such

17 as Richard G. Hill will co-op any sort of information

18 or innuendo--

19 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, I'm going to object to this

20 as completely irrelevant.

21 THE DEFENDANT: --to further their ends.

22 THE COURT: I have to agree.

23 Mr. Coughlin, if you're telling me fundamentally

24 that you don't plan to cooperate, I'll revoke your bail


39/50

18

1 and put you into custody of the Washoe County Sheriff

2 and then they can get you, you know, the evaluations as

3 an in-custody person. That's what I would have to do.

4 You know, you are a very articulate man and, you

5 know, you're stating your positions on this, but your

6 positions are against what I want done.

7 THE DEFENDANT: I don't know what you want done,

8 Your Honor.

9 THE COURT: I just want you to get the two

10 evaluations at Lakes Crossing. They're the people that

11 normally do this for everybody, you know, and--

12 THE DEFENDANT: And I presented--

13 THE COURT: --that's the appropriate thing to have

14 done at this time.

15 THE DEFENDANT: And I presented twice in that

16 regard, Your Honor, and it's my understanding they just

17 flat out refuse to continue. In that regard, I believe

18 I should-- One, I dispute the accuracy of their letter

19 wholeheartedly. I find it inaccurate, I find it

20 retaliatory in tone. But I did present-- And there's

21 a case--

22 THE COURT: Well, I've never seen a letter like

23 this before. I mean, people just don't show up, that's

24 true, but once they show up, they generally, you know,


40/50

19

1 cooperate with the talking and taking whatever testing

2 needs to be done and get the evaluation. It's not a

3 very painful process.

4 THE DEFENDANT: And I was told-- Maybe not for

5 people who aren't very aware of constitutional rights.

6 But for someone who is burdened with the fact that they

7 went to law school, you know, it's difficult. And I

8 would submit that there's a number of cases in juris

9 prudence in this regard that speak to the extent--

10 THE COURT: Mr. Coughlin, since you're not going to

11 cooperate--

12 THE DEFENDANT: No, I will cooperate. I just need

13 to know, Your Honor--

14 THE COURT: But you're telling me you're not

15 cooperating.

16 THE DEFENDANT: No, I will. I'm telling you I

17 will. And I did, I showed up. They asked me a

18 question--

19 THE COURT: You have to show up and you have to

20 meet with the two psychiatrists or psychologists, I

21 guess, technically, whatever they are, and, you know,

22 talk to them, be responsive and get the appropriate

23 evaluation.

24 THE DEFENDANT: If they ask me to take off my


41/50

20

1 clothes and appear naked, do I need to do that?

2 THE COURT: I think it's unlikely that that's going

3 to happen to you. I'm not going to speculate as to,

4 you know, totally absurd, you know, things that could

5 happen during a psychological--

6 THE DEFENDANT: If they ask me if I've ever had any

7 mental health treatment, if they ask me to have a copy

8 of any of my medical records, if they ask me any sort

9 of personal information that would normally be

10 protected--

11 THE COURT: Then you're saying you won't cooperate?

12 THE DEFENDANT: No, I didn't say that, sir. And I

13 didn't say that to Lakes Crossing either. They stormed

14 off. I said, "I'll have to check my records, let me--"

15 something like, "Let me think about that."

16 And they stormed off in anger. They said, "We're

17 done and left."

18 And it was appalling. And then to send the letter

19 they sent you, Your Honor, is appalling. I didn't

20 stand there and say: I'm refusing to tell you

21 anything. I didn't do that. Dr. Davis appeared--

22 THE COURT: Look, Mr. Coughlin, I just need to

23 know, are you going to go there and cooperate and get

24 this psychological evaluation or not? I mean, are you


42/50

21

1 going to do it on your own out of custody?

2 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor, I will, but--

3 THE COURT: Okay. Well, if you are going to do

4 that and you commit to this court basically under

5 penalty of being found in contempt for failing to do

6 it, you know, I'll leave you out of custody and you can

7 get this on your own. But if you're not going to go

8 there and cooperate, I'm forced to revoke your bail and

9 put you into custody and then as an in-custody prisoner

10 you can get some psychological counseling, and, you

11 know, evaluation.

12 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, I would just put forth,

13 I always intend to follow orders of the court. I would

14 like an opportunity to brief this and oppose the order

15 initially since I've been--

16 THE COURT: Well, that is denied. We're at the

17 point now where it's already determined that you're to

18 get this evaluation.

19 THE DEFENDANT: But I believe that an excusable

20 neglect analysis would auger towards allowing me to

21 replace Mr. Dogan based on his fraudulence basically or

22 his excusable neglect or something, but I have not been

23 accorded a due process right to oppose this evaluation.

24 I would like that.


43/50

22

1 Failing that, I would like an opportunity to brief

2 the extent to which this evaluation is a blank check to

3 Lakes Crossing. I would also like the opportunity to

4 brief the extent to which I must utilize Lakes Crossing

5 versus a private certified entity or a professional.

6 THE COURT: Well, Mr. Coughlin, after hearing you

7 argue and argue about this issue, I'm making the

8 determination that you're not going to cooperate with

9 this, and I am revoking your bail.

10 THE DEFENDANT: Sir, I will cooperate. If that's

11 what it comes down to, I--

12 THE COURT: You're going to be placed into custody

13 of the Washoe County Sheriff at this time. I revoke

14 your bail.

15 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, I just respectfully ask

16 that you reconsider, and I'll do whatever you say for

17 my--

18 THE COURT: We're done with this. I'm sorry that

19 you've forced me to take this action. I don't really

20 want to put you in custody, but it's clear that you're

21 really not going to cooperate. And you're raising

22 issues about issues that seem kind of preposterous but

23 that would give you some excuse not to cooperate. So

24 you'll have to get the examination as an in-custody


44/50

23

1 person.

2 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, can I make one suggestion?

3 THE COURT: Yes.

4 MR. DOGAN: As soon as those competency evaluations

5 are completed, can we have Mr. Coughlin removed or no

6 longer in custody at the Washoe County Jail?

7 THE COURT: He's going to remain in custody until

8 he can be brought back here for the hearing on

9 competence.

10 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, if I may just make one

11 request. Given your ruling, Your Honor, I basically

12 will do what you say to do, particularly--

13 THE COURT: Well, I don't believe that you will.

14 After all this, we've spent a lot of time on it, I just

15 don't believe you anymore.

16 THE DEFENDANT: Well, Your Honor, if I may move to

17 stay based on the prejudice to my clients that--

18 THE COURT: Denied.

19 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, do we want to set a new

20 date?

21 THE COURT: So let's set this out about in about a

22 month.

23 MR. DOGAN: Can we just--

24 THE COURT: And if it's done earlier, fine, but


45/50

24

1 let's track it for about a month is what it normally

2 takes.

3 MR. DOGAN: I understand, Your Honor. Can we just

4 have a status hearing just in case both of the

5 evaluations have been completed?

6 THE COURT: If it's done, you all can get together

7 and set it back on the calendar at that time.

8 THE CLERK: Your Honor, the first available date

9 would be May 24th at 8:30. Is that acceptable?

10 MR. YOUNG: May 24?

11 THE CLERK: Yes. Is that acceptable?

12 MR. DOGAN: It is. Thank you.

13 THE DEFENDANT: May I have those papers entered

14 into the record?

15 MR. YOUNG: Thanks, Your Honor.

16 THE DEFENDANT: That legal research on the table.
