UNITED STATES, Appellee, v. John Leonard ECKER, a/k/a Leonard Hoffecker, Defendant, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided March 8, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert D. Richman, Assistant Federal Public Defender, with whom Scott F. Tilsen, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Minneapolis, MN and Owen S. Walker, Federal Public Defender, Boston, MA, were on brief for appellant.

Mary Elizabeth Carmody, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Donald K. Stern, Boston, MA, United States Attorney, was on brief for appellee.

Before SELYA, Circuit Judge, BOWNES, Senior Circuit Judge, and STAHL, Circuit Judge.

STAHL, Circuit Judge.

Appellant John L. Ecker asks us to rule that the federal indictment against him must be dismissed because he has been found incompetent to stand trial and, having been found dangerous, has been indefinitely committed to federal custody. The district court denied Ecker's motion to dismiss the indictment. Ecker appeals. Because neither the relevant statutes nor caselaw require the dismissal of the indictment, we affirm.
