Stipe Ordered To Undergo Mental Evaluation

Former Senator Gene Stipe must report to a federal prison hospital by noon Monday to undergo a mental competency evaluation, according to an order filed Thursday by two judges of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In issuing the order, the judges dissolved a temporary stay they granted earlier Thursday and reinstated U.S. Judge Ronald A. White's order that Stipe undergo mental examination at the federal facility in Springfield, Mo.
