BY THE COURT: 
MODIFICATION OF OPINION 
 
 
The opinion herein, filed on November 25, 2002, appearing at 29 Cal.4th 
228, is modified as follows: 
 
1.  In the first sentence of the first full paragraph on page 256, after the 
words “the probable cause hearing” the following is added:  “if such evidence has 
been presented.”   
 
2.  The last sentence of the second full paragraph on page 256 is modified 
to read:  “We hold, therefore, that the superior court at the probable cause hearing 
must also consider any evidence of the offender’s amenability to voluntary 
treatment in determining whether the potential SVP poses a serious and well-
founded risk of committing sexually violent predatory criminal acts upon 
release.”   
 
This modification does not affect the judgment.
