United States First Circuit

The district court's order finding defendant incompetent to stand trial and committing him to the custody of the Attorney General for hospitalization and treatment is affirmed, where: 1) the requirements of the collateral order doctrine are present here; 2) the matter is not moot; and 3) the district court did not clearly err in concluding that defendant was incompetent based on Dr. Mart's testimony and its own observations of his behavior.
