JORDAN V. SUPERIOR COURT

— STAFF
We conclude that because the outpatient treatment supervisor was the person who requested Jordan’s revocation, and because time is of the essence in restoring a defendant to competency, the trial court was not required to hold a full evidentiary hearing in this case.

Cal. Ct. App.

Whether due process requires an evidentiary hearing before revoking an incompetent defendant's outpatient competency restoration status.
