The judge confirms the defendant’s identity through appointed counsel and formally takes judicial notice of the court’s file.

Judge West reviews a competency evaluation conducted by Dr. Hamza, dated November 14, 2025, which concludes that Mr. Cells is not competent to stand trial at this time. When asked, no additional evidence is presented by either side to challenge the evaluation.

Based on the uncontested report, Judge West officially finds the defendant incompetent and orders inpatient mental health treatment at an appropriate facility for up to 120 days, beginning when the defendant is admitted. The court will await a follow-up report from the facility before determining the next steps in the case.
