IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs,

v. 

EDMUND G. BROWN JR., et al., 

Defendants.

2:90-cv-00520 KJM DAD PC 

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR FIRST 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

REPORT ON USE OF ATASCADERO 

STATE HOSPITAL AND ORDER

STIPULATION 

On August 21, 2015, this Court issued an order directing Defendants to file a report to the 

Court on whether regular and consistent use of the full complement of 256 beds at Atascadero 

State Hospital designated for Coleman class members is sufficient to permanently eliminate the 

ongoing waitlist for inpatient mental health care and if not, why not and what alternate plans are 

in place for waitlisted class members. (ECF No. 5343 at 2.) 

In that same Order the Court ordered that the Special Master shall be actively involved in 

the ongoing negotiations to update the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that governs the 

Case 2:90-cv-00520-KJM-SCR Document 5360 Filed 09/22/15 Page 1 of 3

relationship between the Department of State Hospitals (DSH) and the California Department of 

Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to provide inpatient care to CDCR patients. (Id.) 

Defendants have had a series of meetings with the Special Master and his team of experts 

on the development of an updated MOU. As a result, it has been determined that more time is 

necessary to complete the revisions to the MOU and the associated policies, share them with 

Plaintiffs’ counsel and the Special Master, and meet to discuss additional comments and 

concerns. The outcome of the meetings to finalize the MOU and associated policies will 

necessarily impact Defendants’ response to the Court’s Order on the use of Atascadero State 

Hospital. Therefore, the parties and the Special Master have conferred and determined that 

additional time is necessary to allow Defendants to finalize the MOU and associated policies, 

consider plaintiffs’ counsel’s comments, and to prepare and file their respective responses to the 

Court’s August 21 order. 

The parties, in agreement with the Special Master, therefore stipulate that the time for 

Defendants to submit their report shall be extended until October 30, 2015.
