The Court further orders that five (5) of the years previously imposed shall be suspended. It is further ordered that the defendant shall be deemed ineligible for parole until he has completed the Moral Reconation Treatment program and the Criminal Thinking Errors Program. Though not a limitation upon the defendant’s consideration for parole, during the period of the defendant’s supervision by the Department of Corrections he shall complete all phases of chemical dependency treatment offered by said Department, whether such treatment be obtained at Montana State Prison, Pre-Release, ISP, or in whatever correctional facility or program the defendant may be placed. It is further ordered that during any such time as the defendant may be on parole or probation, he shall comply with each of the conditions as stated in the November 14,1996 judgment.
