Dear Dr. Young:
Enclosed herewith you will find my Motion and Order in Ronnie Lee Kimble's case appointing you to evaluate him for a sleep disorder with a budget set at $2,000 to cover your time and expenses. I was earlier advised by Dr. Charles G. Guyer, who did a psychological evaluation, that you may he willing to accept this case and so I went ahead and had the judge appoint you. I hope you will accept the appointment.

We have a fairly extensive medical report from the United States Marine Corps detailing steps they took with regard to the sleep disorder and also a report from Dr. Guyer. If you are willing to accept this case, I would like to meet with you at your convenience and give you some background information and turn over Dr. Guyer's and the Marine Corps reports.
 

Ronnie Kimble is an interesting and attractive young man in jail without bond and charged with the death for hire of his sister-in-law. This is a death penalty case. We believe that a chronic sleep disorder is a factor in the case. We also believe our client is innocent.

I will be available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week to discuss this matter over the telephone or meet with you. Of course, Charles Guyer knows a lot about the case and my co-counsel, David Lloyd, telephone number 691-0550, will also be happy to discuss this matter sooner if that would be more convenient.
 

Very truly yours,
