Syllabus

The trial court did not err in finding that defendant was incompetent to stand trial and there was not a substantial probability that he could be restored to competency within the time allotted by law. Therefore, the trial court did not err in ordering the complaints against defendant dismissed and discharging defendant. Trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel because he did not, as defendant alleged, disclose communications protected by the attorney-client privilege to the evaluator of defendant's competency. The trial court did not err by not disqualifying the prosecutors in the cases against defendant, or by enforcing a judgment of conviction entered against defendant before the trial court found him incompetent to stand trial. The entry of the judgment finding defendant incompetent rendered moot all issues regarding the disclosure of evidence to defendant prior to trial. Defendant failed to establish that the trial court and prosecutors engaged in a civil conspiracy against him.
