IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. Michael Stevens of Counseling Psychology at Behavior Medicine Health, Providence, Rhode Island, shall conduct a Psychosexual Forensic Evaluation of the defendant and prepare a report pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 3552(c) 4244(b) to assess the nature and extent of the defendant's mental health issues and determine what risk, if any, he may pose to the community. 2. Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 4247(c), the content of such report shall include: a. A synopsis of the defendant's present symptoms and prior treatment history. b. The examiner's opinion as to whether the defendant is a threat to the community, particularly children. c.

A determination as to whether the examiner is in concurrence with the conclusions reached by Deborah L. Diamond, M.S., LMHC of The Counseling Psychotherapy Center, Inc., Needham, Massachusetts in her report, dated April 28, 2008. The Probation Department may disclose Ms. Diamond's report to Mr. Stevens. 3. The report should also indicate what the defendant's treatment needs would be if he were released back into the community. 4.
