et al.

Nevertheless, Mr. Lee is demanding that the last session be moved to Dr. Jadwin's office and is refusing to allow the examination to proceed unless the defendants agree. Mr. Lee also apparently disclosed to Dr. Jadwin the nature of the T.O.M.M. test Dr. Burchuk intended to administer at the last session. Since the test is designed to identifY malingering, its disclosure effectively destroys the test's usefulness. Dr. Burchuk is concerned about the extent ofMr. Lee's interference in the exam and sent me an e-mail on Saturday, May 31 in which he wrote that he probably should not even bother with the T.O.M.M. test now. By telling Dr. Jadwin the nature of the test Dr. Burchuk believes Mr. Lee has essentially destroyed the validity of the test. There are warnings in the test's manual about the importance of not disclosing the test's name and purpose to the examinee. Also, Dr. Burchuk believes that the results of the test, early in the second interview, would have been significant to his approach to the remaining hours of examination, had the test shown positive results for malingering. Dr. Burchuk

concluded his e-mail by stating that he believed Mr. Lee's and Dr. Jadwin's behaviors "are to process to court."
