in which it seeks to have its case related to case number 2:76-

cv-00162-GEB-EFB. Plaintiffs state in pertinent part:

Plaintiffs’ claims for relief arise from the 

death by suicide of Bertram Hiscock in the 

Yuba County Jail on January 29, 2017, and are 

based on violations of the First and 

Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. 

Constitution, the Americans with Disabilities 

Act, and California state law. Plaintiffs 

allege that Defendants failed to provide Mr. 

Hiscock with necessary and adequate medical 

and mental health treatment, were 

deliberately indifferent to serious risk of 

harm, and discriminated on the basis of 

psychiatric disability. 

Hedrick v. Grant is a class action against 

Yuba County officials on behalf of inmates 

incarcerated at Yuba County Jail and a 

Consent Decree was entered by the Court in 

that action in 1979 that, inter alia, relates 

to provision of medical and mental health 

treatment and suicide prevention at the Jail.

Mot. to Relate 1:8–18, ECF No. 224 in 2:76-cv-00162-GEB-EFB. 

The action will not be reassigned as a related case because it 

has not been shown that assignment to the same judge is likely to 

effect a substantial savings in judicial effort.
