United States v. Wormly
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM: *
April Wormly pleaded guilty of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1038(a)(1) by making telephone calls stating that there was a bomb on an aircraft. She contends the district court erred in failing to order a competency examination sua sponte and in failing to convene a competency hearing. A review of the record reveals that the district court did not abuse its discretion in failing to conduct a more searching competence inquiry. See United States v. Messervey, 317 F.3d 457, 463 (5th Cir.2002); United States v. Davis, 61 F.3d 291, 304 (5th Cir.1995); United States v. Williams, 819 F.2d 605,…
