3. The Deputy Warden, through his staff, may require Dr. Morris and Leticia Marquez to subject all instruments, equipment, manuals and the like to an inspection and inventory prior to and subsequent to any meeting with Gonzales.

4. The non-contact visit between Gonzales, Dr. Morris and Leticia

Marquez shall be confidential and take place in one of the rooms normally designated for attorney-client visitation. No other inmates

shall be allowed within hearing distance.

5. Prior to the visit, the Deputy Warden, or his designee, shall advise Gonzales, in definite terms, that he is under a court order to appear at the above stated visit and that he cannot refuse the visit. If Gonzales

refuses to leave his cell for the psychiatric evaluation, he shall not be

forcibly extracted; rather, the Warden, through his staff, shall escort Dr. Morris and Leticia Marquez to Gonzales's cell so that Dr. Morris

may evaluate Gonzales at his cell (cell-side). In such case, Dr. Morris and Ms. Marquez shall wear any protective gear deemed necessary by ADC; and ADC shall otherwise maintain the security they deem

necessary. 

6. Prior to a cell-side evaluation, Dr. Morris and Ms. Marquez each shall certify in a written release to ADOC that they have investigated and ascertained the risks to his or her personal safety associated with the visit as authorized by and under the circumstances described in this

order; that they agree to assume those risks; that they release and hold harmless ADOC, the State of Arizona, and their officers and employees from any claim arising from death or injury associated with the risks assumed. However, such release shall not operate as a release of gross negligence on the part of ADOC.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court forward a copy of

this Order to counsel of record; and to MICHAEL BRODSKY, Assistant Attorney

General, Arizona Department of Corrections, 1275 West Washington, Phoenix,

Arizona 85007; Deputy Warden TERRY JOHNSON and Sgt. C. STITT, Arizona

State Prison - Eyman Prison Complex - SMU II, 4374 East Butte Avenue, Florence,

Arizona 85232; and to CAPITAL CASE STAFF ATTORNEY, United States District

Court, Phoenix, Arizona, only.

DATED this 19th day of October, 2006.
