At Wilmington, Delaware, this 17*" day of May, 2005.
Randall Hill, lll appeared before the Court on Thursday, May 12, 2005 for
an initial appearance on a criminal complaint for a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 111(1)(a).
During the preliminary and detention hearings on May 17, 2005, the Court found
probable cause. Further, based upon defendant’s conduct and statements during the
initial appearance and the preliminary and detention hearings, it was clearly evident that
defendant is suffering from a mental condition or disease. There was evidence
presented that defendant is recognized as disabled due to a mental health illness for
which he is receiving disability payments, has refused mental health treatment and has
refused to cooperate with any such treatment. As a result, the Court ordered a
competency hearing occur pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241.
The Court finds that there is reasonable cause to believe that the
defendant may presently be suffering from a mental disease or mental defect

study to include a physical, psychiatric, psychological and/or neurological examination
of the defendant to aid the competency of defendant. The thirty day period shall begin
to run only when the study is initiated at the federal facility. The Court recommends

and occur, if possible, at the federal medical facility in Springfield, Missouri, or Butner,
North Carolina, or Devens, Massachusetts.
