Description
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. Upon consideration of the entire record we agree with the Solicitor General that ""the record in this case does not sufficiently support the findings of competency to stand trial,"" for to support those findings under 18 U. S. C. § 4244 the district judge ""would need more information than this record presents."" We also agree with the suggestion of the Solicitor General that it is not enough for the district judge to find that ""the defendant [is] oriented to time and place and [has] some recollection of events,"" but that the ""test must be whether he has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding -- and whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him.""
