UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. DEAVON DONYE MONTGOMERY
SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER ON CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISED RELEASE
MYRON H. THOMPSON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In accordance with and in addition to the conditions of supervision in the judgment of conviction entered today, it is ORDERED that, upon commencement of supervised release, the United States Probation Office shall:
(1) Arrange for defendant Deavon Donye Montgomery to receive mental-health treatment in accordance with the detailed recommendations of Dr. Ashlee Zito. See Psychological Evaluation (Doc. 42-1) at 12-13. Such treatment shall include (i) individual psychotherapy to achieve symptom stability; process grief; improve Montgomery's coping skills and decision-making skills; and assist with maintaining sobriety; (ii) continued psychiatric care and psychotropic medication as recommended by his psychiatrist; and (iii) continued avoidance of any substance use, including participation in Narcotics Anonymous or a similar program. As Dr. Zito recommends, Montgomery's psychotherapy should be provided by a licensed provider who specializes in treating posttraumatic stress disorder, ideally through a modality such as cognitive processing therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (known as “EMDR”).
(2) Ensure that any mental-health practitioner treating defendant Montgomery receives a copy of the psychological evaluation conducted by Dr. Ashlee Zito. See Psychological Evaluation (Doc. 42-1).
DONE.
