status of DACODA AMBER RAY, Defendant, and the Court, in accordance with Mississippi
Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 12.2 and other applicable laws and rules, does hereby
finds:
The Attorney for the defendant has filed a Motion for Mental Examination. Further, the
State as attested by the prosecutor's signature below, agrees to this order based on
reviewing the evidence and matters in the discovery including but not limited to the alleged
actions of the defendant regarding the circumstances of the subject allegations, the actions
of the defendant post arrest, and the actions of the defendant pre-trial detainment.
However, the State while agreeing to this order is in no way conceding that the defendant
is incompetent nor insane at the time of the alleged events, however, does agree that
the Court finds that there is reasonable ground to believe that the Defendant may be
incompetent to stand trial and does therefore order that Defendant undergo a mental
evaluation by the Forensic Services Unit of the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield,

to know the difference between right and wrong in relation to her alleged acts at that time.
