 Appendix A to the September 6, 2019 joint submission is the list of all policies and 

court orders related to custodial issues that the parties agree are part of the remedy in this case 

and not included in the 2018 Program Guide Revision. ECF No. 6271-1. By this order, the court 

approves the list presented as Appendix A and adopts it as identifying relevant custodial remedial 

measures in this action, subject to the possible addition of measures following resolution of the 

outstanding disputes as described below. 

 The parties’ joint submission includes a list of four polices and/or orders that 

plaintiffs want included in the list of custodial remedial measures. ECF No. 6271 at 2. 

Defendants contend the items on the list are not responsive to the July 9, 2019 order. Id. The 

parties have set forth in the joint submission their respective positions as to each of the four items. 

Id. at 2-10. 

 The July 9, 2019 order requires that the parties “confirm that the Special Master 

has reviewed the list and concurs that it is a comprehensive list of such remedial measures.” ECF 

No. 6214 at 19. The Special Master has informed the court that he has specific views concerning 

whether each of the four disputed items belongs on the list the court has required. To ensure that 

his views are properly reflected in the record before the court on this question, the court issues the 

order set forth below. 

 Upon hearing as provided below from the Special Master, and the parties as 

necessary, the court anticipates directing the Special Master to file a completed 2018 Program 

Guide Revision taking account of the court’s orders issued since that revision’s filing, designed to 

finalize the revision in full, and accompanied by a complete approved list of custodial remedies. 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Appendix A to the Parties’ Joint Submission of Custody-Related Remedial 

Measures is approved and adopted; 

2. This matter is referred to the Special Master who shall determine whether to 

convene an additional meeting of the parties to resolve the disputes and/or to file his specific 

recommendations with the court; and
