CRIMINAL ACTION 2:21cr328-MHT (WO)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JONATHAN DALE KNOTT
ORDER
MYRON H. THOMPSON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In the next to final paragraph of its July 9, 2022, order declaring defendant Jonathan Dale Knott mentally competent to stand trial on the felony information against him, the court stated that “Knott was unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him.” United States v. Knott, No. 2:21cr328-MHT, 2022 WL 2079868, at *2 (M.D. Ala. June 9, 2022). This was in error. The court meant to say, instead, that Knott was able to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him.
***
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the following paragraph is substituted for the next to last paragraph of the court's July 9, 2022, order (Doc. 70):
“In this case, the court found, on the basis of Dr. Kirkland's report, that Knott was able to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against him, and that his deficits in communication, socializing, and coping were not so severe as to render him unable to assist properly in his defense. See 18 U.S.C. § 4241(a).”
DONE.
