213541P.pdf 10/28/2022 United States v. Andrew Ryan
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-3541
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil Commitment - 18 U.S.C. Sec. 4246. The requirement in Sec. 4246(a)
that a defendant be committed to the custody of the Attorney General under
18 U.S.C. Sec. 4241(d) is not jurisdictional and can be waived; by failing
to raise the challenge in the correct court - the district that ordered
the Sec. 4241 custody, rather than the district where he is confined -
defendant waived his right to challenge the alleged Sec. 4241(d) timing
violations; because the timing violations are the basis for the Sec. 4246
challenge, that challenge fails.
