2Q to a possible defense of insanity. This request is based on undersigned’s contact with
21 Mr. Pedro. Undersigned has met personally with Mr. Pedro at CCA . Based upon

24 order a psychiatric examination of the defendant and that it be conducted by Dr. John
25 Hollebeek, 4801 S. Lakeshore #206 Drive, Tempe, AZ 85282, (480) 345-7755. Dr.
