UNITED STATES V. BAYNE
— STAFF
When a defendant is already detained, his interest in avoiding the intrusion posed by a competency evaluation does not outweigh the public interest in the prompt administration of justice. The collateral-order doctrine therefore does not apply, and we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
10th Cir. · dismissed
Whether an order for a detained defendant to undergo a competency evaluation is immediately appealable under the collateral-order doctrine.
