United States First Circuit
US v. Ahrendt, 06-1254
Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where it was clear error for the district court to decline to order a reevaluation of defendant's competency, as there was no reasonable cause to believe that he was mentally incompetent to stand trial. Sentence is remanded for resentencing in light of Amendment 709 to the United States Sentencing Guideline.
