Davis is charged with murder and faces the death penalty if convicted. His trial was halted in October so he could receive mental health treatment.
A March 31 pretrial conference has been scheduled.
Davis has previously asked to represent himself in his case. His attorneys previously told the court Davis suffers from “paranoia and delusions.”
