A jury convicted appellant Brian Keith Reams of first degree burglary, receiving stolen property and loitering. He argues that his convictions must be reversed for several reasons. First, Reams claims there was insufficient evidence to support the loitering conviction. He also contends the trial court committed the following errors: (1) allowing the involuntary administration of psychotropic drugs, (2) failing to conduct a second competency hearing, and (3) permitting him to remain handcuffed during trial. Finally, Reams asks that we independently review sealed records to determine whether all discoverable material was disclosed. We disagree with his contentions, find all discoverable material was disclosed, and affirm the judgment.

Reams told Calvillo he was in the backyard collecting aluminum cans. Calvillo saw two duffel bags in the backyard where Reams had been standing. Reams said the duffel bags were his and gave Calvillo permission to search the bags. One bag contained a Toshiba laptop computer; the other bag contained several items, including a bottle of Admiral Nelson's spiced rum, a jar of change, cigarettes, and DVD's. There were no cans in either of the duffel bags or in the backyard.
Reams told Calvillo that the items in the duffel bags belonged to him and that he had purchased the computer downtown. Reams later told another officer that he purchased the computer for $30 from someone who was looking for money to buy drugs.
When interviewed at the police station later that same day, Reams said he collected cans and scrap metal for money. When asked what he was doing in Brown's backyard, Reams said he was taking a â€
