Opinion

STATE OF MAINE UNIFIED CRIMINAL DOCKET CUMBERLAND, ss. No. CR-13-187

STATE OF MAINE

V. ORDER

TIMOTHY DUFFY,

Defendant

The court heard argument on May 29 on the motion by defendant Timothy Duffy to

modify his sentence pursuant to Rule 35. The modification sought concerns a condition of

probation, and at the hearing counsel for petitioner made an oral motion to amend the conditions

of probation.

Specifically, Duffy is seeking to delete the requirement that he obtain an evaluation as

directed by Probation and if necessary sex offender counseling and treatment as recommended.

In the alternative, he is apparently seeking an order that he can have the evaluation conducted by

a counselor he is already seeing.

The court has reviewed the audio recording of Duffy's plea and sentence and finds no

evidence that the imposition of a probation condition requiring evaluation and if necessary sex

offender counseling and treatment was influenced by any mistake of fact. That condition was

specifically requested by the State. Nor is there any evidence that the court mistakenly failed to

provide that the evaluation could be performed by Duffy's current counselor. 1

Duffy's Rule 35 motion is therefore denied.

1 A portion of the discussion occurred at sidebar and is largely unintelligible. However, to the extent that portions of that discussion are audible, they do not support any finding that the sentence was influenced by a mistake of fact. M.R.Crim.P. 35(c)(2). The court will order a transcript in case the transcribers are able to discern more of the proceedings that occurred at sidebar. The court will not issue any decision on the State's motion to revoke based on Duffy's

failure- up to this point- to obtain an evaluation by a counselor deemed qualified by the State

and will also riot issue any .ruling on Duffy's motion to modify the conditions of probation. This

is because the parties have not yet determined (1) whether an evaluation from Duffy's current

counselor would be acceptable to Probation and (2) if not, whether Duffy would be prepared to

submit to an evaluation by a professional deemed qualified by the State.

However, Duffy is on notice that he needs to obtain an evaluation as "directed by {his]

probation officer" and that if Probation concludes his current counselor is not qualified, he risks

revocation if he does not comply with the conditions of probation. See State v. Webb, 673 A.2d

1345 (Me. 1996).
