(Related to Cr. S. 08-166-MCE)

DISCHARGE (18 U.S.C. § 4243)

Date: April 29, 2010

Time: 9:00 a.m.

Judge: Hon. Morrison C. England Jr.

On April 29, 2010, Mr. Arnette appeared before this Court,

represented by Rachelle Barbour from the Federal Defender’s Office. 

The government appeared through AUSA Richard Bender. Mr. Arnette

appeared on a petition to revoke his conditional discharge that was

filed in this case in the Central District of California prior to

transfer of the case to this district.

Mr. Arnette admitted all of the violation conduct alleged by the

violation petition. The government gave a factual basis for that

conduct, to which Mr. Arnette did not object. The Court found Mr.

Arnette in violation of his conditional discharge in this case. The

Court hereby revokes that conditional discharge. Due to the violations

and in light of his failure to comply with the prescribed regimen of

psychiatric treatment set forth for his conditional release, Mr.

Arnette poses a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person or

serious damage to property. 18 U.S.C. § 4243(g). The Court hereby

remands Mr. Arnette under 18 U.S.C. § 4243(g) to a suitable facility. 

The Court recommends that the Bureau of Prisons designate Mr. Arnette

for treatment at FMC Springfield, as he has already been committed to

that facility for treatment in related case Cr. S. 08-166-MCE.

As the Court is remanding Mr. Arnette pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

§ 4243(g), the procedures in 18 U.S.C. § 4243 apply. The Attorney

General shall release Mr. Arnette to the appropriate official in

California if that State will assume responsibility for his custody,

care, and treatment. The Attorney General shall make all reasonable

efforts to cause California to assume such responsibility. If,

notwithstanding such efforts, California will not assume such

responsibility, the Attorney General shall hospitalize Mr. Arnette for

treatment in a suitable facility until – (1) California will assume

such responsibility; or (2) Mr. Arnette’s mental condition is such that

his release, or his condition release under a prescribed regimen of

medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment, would not

create a substantial risk or bodily injury to another person or serious

damage to property of another – whichever is earlier. The Attorney

General shall continue periodically to exert all reasonable efforts to

cause such a State to assume such responsibility for the person’s

custody, care, and treatment. 

Under 18 U.S.C. § 4243(f), when the director of the facility in

which Mr. Arnette is hospitalized pursuant to this Order determines

that he has recovered from his mental disease or defect to such an

extent that his release, or his conditional release under a prescribed

regimen of medical, psychiatric, or psychological care or treatment,

would not longer create a substantial risk of bodily injury to another

person or serious damage to property of another, he or she shall

promptly file a certificate to that effect with the Clerk of this

Court.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4247(e)(1)(B), the director of the

facility in which Mr. Arnette is committed pursuant to section 4243

shall prepare annual reports concerning Mr. Arnette’s mental condition

and containing recommendations concerning the need for his continued

commitment. The reports shall be submitted to this Court and copies of

the reports shall be submitted to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the

Federal Defender’s Office in this district. The director of the

facility is which Mr. Arnette is committed pursuant to section 4243

shall inform Mr. Arnette of any rehabilitation programs that are

available in that facility.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 30, 2010
