The claim in ref.1 [M. Conte et al: "Stern-Gerlach Force on a Precessing Magnetic Moment", Proceedings of PAC07 (http://cern.ch/AccelConf/p07/PAPER/THPAS105.pdf)] that the Stern-Gerlach force on a charged particle with a magnetic moment causes a change in longitudinal momentum proportional to gamma-squared when it traverses a specially configured localized electromagnetic field, contradicts the prediction based on the established interaction Lagrangian. It is shown that extending the calculation in ref. 1 to include the entire spin motion eliminates the gamma-squared term and thus the inconsistency.
