During a hearing on April 23, counselors decided to continue the case of a defendant in violation of his civil protection order. 

Kenneth Currie is charged with violation of CPO (civil protection order) and contempt of his condition of release violation. 

After being deemed mentally incompetent and sent to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution, the defense and prosecution have agreed to continue the case to determine if a discharge plan can be set up for the defendant upon release.

DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan scheduled a bond review hearing for Currie on April 27.
