U.S. District Judge Ronald White made the ruling after hearing testimony.

Stipe, 82, is on probation for two felony convictions involving illegal contributions to the 1998 congressional of Walt Roberts. Prosecutors claim he violated probation by associating with another convicted felon and by orchestrating another campaign fraud case in 2004.

Stipe was housed for four months recently at a prison hospital in Springfield, Mo. It was his second stay there.

In November 2007, White deemed Stipe incompetent to face the probation revocation case.
