   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3573
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Gruender, and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil Commitment. Spann had been committed to the custody of 
   the Attorney General based on a mental disease or defect and a substantial 
   risk of dangerousness; later, he was conditionally released to the 
   community, but he failed to abide by the conditions of his release, and 
   the government moved to revoke his release; the district court did not err 
   in rejecting Spann's argument that a mental exam was required before the 
   court could revoke his conditional release; 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4246(f) does 
   not direct, or even expressly authorize the district court to order a 
   mental health exam in a proceeding to consider revocation of conditional 
   discharge; denial of the exam did not deprive Spann of his Fifth Amendment 
   due process rights, as he had a meaningful opportunity to be heard on the 
   revocation and did not avail himself of statutory opportunities to show he 
   was eligible for discharge despite violating conditions of release.
