Following a preliminary hearing held on February 18, 2015, the Solano County District Attorney filed an information charging defendant Jarvis Daney Porter with the felony offense of assault on his fatherby means likely to produce great bodily injury. (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(4).[1]) The information included an allegation that defendant personally inflicted great bodily injury within the meaning of section 12022.7, subdivision (a).
On April 1, 2015, the criminal proceedings were suspended after defendant’s trial counsel informed the court that he had a doubt as to defendant’s competency to stand trial. (§ 1368.) Four weeks later, on April 28, 2015, the trial court declared defendantnot competent to stand trial and several months later on August 31, 2015, the trial court reinstated the criminal proceedings after explaining its reasons for declaring that defendant’s competency had been restored.
