Nothing in May with the defendant decided. Maybe in August. See Order #64 below.

That or perhaps escalating the current treatment plan/Rx dosage given the amount of time he's been infirmed.

Yes - it will be 3 years on Aug. 9th (2021) when he was arrested at the Mexican/US border...

Thank you @Niner. From the quoted MSM link:Here's an article on the Fed's motion re involuntary medication.
Feds move to seek involuntary medication of conspiracy theorist charged with killing kids in Rosarito
Matthew Coleman was deemed incompetent to stand trial, but San Diego prosecutors want a judge to order him involuntarily medicated to restore his competency
June 7, 2024
[..]
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that involuntarily medicating a defendant is legal under certain conditions, though a judge must first rule that four specific requirements are met before ordering such treatment. In a motion filed about a week ago asking a judge to launch that decision-making process, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Diego began laying out arguments for why Coleman should be involuntarily medicated.
Coleman’s attorneys have the opportunity to challenge the request.
Coleman, 43, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of murdering U.S. nationals on foreign soil for the 2021 slayings of his 2-year-old son, Kaleo, and 10-month-old daughter, Roxy. According to statements outlined in court records, he has admitted to the killings in detailed confessions during several interviews with law enforcement. According to the court records, Coleman’s wife told investigators that the couple had delved into the sprawling QAnon conspiracy together, and that Coleman eventually became paranoid by a mix of conspiracy theories, even believing that his wife was compromised and had passed serpent blood from “lizard people” on to their children.
[..]
In October, U.S. District Judge Cathy Bencivengo ordered Coleman to be committed for treatment after undergoing a mental competency examination. That order is sealed, but prosecutors wrote in a motion filed last month that Coleman was committed because “evidence suggested he has a mental disease or defect and cannot understand the proceedings or help his defense.”
According to online Bureau of Prisons records, Coleman is currently in custody at a federal medical center prison in Springfield, Mo.

I recall she left CA immediately, and don't believe she's seen MC since he was transported to CA three years ago. Reportedly, she changed her name and has never spoken about the case. MSM link cites her residing in TX. Community and friends still believe he suffered and continues suffering from a psychotic break. MOO
Matthew Coleman, accused of killing his two kids over QAnon conspiracies, still doesn’t realize they’re dead: sources

Matthew Taylor Coleman, the California man accused of killing his two kids in Mexico, is still delusional — and sometimes doesn’t even comprehend his children are dead, sources told The Post.
“He talks about them in present tense sometimes,” a family friend who has been in contact with Coleman said. “There are times that he just doesn’t seem to grasp that they’re gone.”
[..]
The Post has learned Coleman has undergone intensive psychological testing over the past several months, including interviews with multiple psychiatrists.
His defense team has also ordered psychological assessment of their client.
[..]
After Coleman’s arrest, his wife, Abby, left California and returned to her home state of Texas, where she currently lives, surrounded by her family.
She now goes by another name, but there is no record she has divorced her husband. She has never spoken publicly about the murders.
The murders have rocked Coleman’s tight-knit community in Santa Barbara, who knew him as an outgoing, friendly surf instructor who was passionate about his faith and doted on his wife and kids.
“He’s my friend and I want what’s best for him,” says his childhood friend. “I really want him to face trial, because maybe that’s the only way we’ll get the answers to why he did what he did.”

From the 2/28/24 MSM link (post #592), confirming they were still reporting him at an undisclosed federal prison medical facility in Southern CA.

I too did not realize he wasn't being housed in California. Surprise. I shall put that in my notes. Thanks for that article on his wife. I do remember when she moved back to Texas.

This is such a tragic case. By all accounts, it's undisputed that MC appears to have mental disease or defect and the Court has Ordered an involuntary treatment plan for him by the BOP, and his defense has until August 7 to respond to the plan.
IMO, involuntary Rx usually involves psychotropic versus psychoactive medication.
Following involuntary Rx, I'm afraid that what we will eventually see seated in court next to his defense is an overweight, zombie man with that empty stare. A yes, no, nod your head, shell.
So here we are. Which does the Court want/need for the show to go on-- the delusional man rendering nonsense or the empty shell?
I'm not sure what the law requires of MC mentally to allow him to consciously enter an insanity plea that the Court can accept and sentence him to lifetime commitment. I ask because I don't think going to trial will serve anybody when MC's fate appears to be spending the remainder of his days in a mental institution-- be it Springfield, MO or Southern, CA.
Prior to this mental break where MC drove his babies across the border and slaughtered them with a spear, and confessed to it, he was very much loved and respected as an active member of his community, but more important, witnessed as a caring and loving father to his children. Healing prayers for the mother and their extended families. MOO

Since last update -- appears there was a defense document improperly withdrawn which may have resulted in withdrawal of MC's counsel. And Court granted the joint Motion for Extension of Time to File Proposed Treatment Plan by Bureau of Prisons to 8/26. Order for Medication Plan by BOP was dated 5/30 but not clear if Rx plan and 'Treatment Plan' are one in the same. In other words -- I see a continued delay happening here.
