JAMES W. HALEY, JR., Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

Convicted by a jury of malicious wounding and obstruction of justice, Larry Johnson maintains the circuit court erred: (1) in failing to order an examination as to his competency; (2) in refusing to reduce the charge of maliciously wounding Kevin Casey, a former Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney, to assault and battery; and (3) in refusing to set aside the sentenc*87ing verdict based upon his post-trial Brady motion that the Commonwealth had failed to disclose evidence as to why Casey had resigned his position as an assistant. We affirm.
