MEMORANDUM
Defendant Lance Kevin Kolesar appeals from the district court’s June 8, 2009 order recommitting him to the custody of the Attorney General for the purpose of conducting a dangerousness evaluation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4246(b). A magistrate judge had previously determined under § 4241(d) that Kolesar’s condition had not so improved as to permit the proceedings to go forward and recommended that the district court find that he be subject to the provisions of § 4246.
The district court order from which Kolesar appeals is not an appealable order for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1291. In United States v. Ohnick, 803 F.2d 1485 (9th Cir.1986), we held that “[o]nly after [a § 4246(a) ] dangerousness hearing does a commitment order under section 4246 become final. At that point, review is available under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.” Id. at 1486.
Here, the director of the medical facility where Kolesar is hospitalized has already issued a dangerousness certificate as required by § 4246(a). Furthermore, the district court for the Western District of Missouri, the district where Kolesar is presently confined, has already held a § 4246(a) dangerousness hearing on which it has yet to rule. Thus, the Missouri district court’s determination pursuant to that dangerousness hearing will be a final order from which Kolesar can appeal.
DISMISSED.
