Stip. and Order Extend. Time to File Amended Reports under March 17 Order (2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC)) 

On March 17, 2023, the Court ordered Defendants to file an amended version of the 

monthly mental health staffing vacancy report filed February 9, 2023 (ECF No. 7717), which 

“shall report mental health vacancy data for positions allocated and filled under the 2009 Staffing 

Plan and modifications thereto separately from positions allocated and filled under the CDCR PIP 

Staffing Plan, and shall include vacancy data for the medical assistant classification.” (ECF 

No. 7766.) The Court has requested the amended reports so that it can correct the following 

statement from p. 2 lines 12-17 of the 2/28/23 order on staffing: 

As of December 2022, defendants have a total of 2,395.5 allocated 

mental health staff positions. More than ten percent of those 

positions are vacant across all classifications; the vacancy rate 

among psychiatrists is eighteen percent, the vacancy rate among 

psychologists is thirty-three percent, the vacancy rate among social 

workers is thirty-one percent, the vacancy rate among recreation 

therapists is fourteen percent, and the vacancy rate among medical 

assistants is twenty-seven percent. 

(ECF No. 7717 at 2:12-17.) 

 To respond to the Court’s order for staffing data required to correct the February 28 order, 

Defendants need to prepare a revised report that separates out the staffing positions allocated 

under the 2009 Staffing Plan from those allocated under the PIP Staffing Plan. The March 13, 

2023 order requires Defendants to file this expanded report by March 24, 2023. (ECF No. 7766 

at 2.) Defendants represent that they are working diligently to compile the data necessary to 

prepare the expanded report, but cannot complete this task within the five working days afforded 

under the March 17 order. Defendants approached the Plaintiffs concerning their need for 

additional time to prepare and file the expanded report. Specifically, Defendants requested a 

three business day extension of time, or until March 29, 2023, in which to file the amended 

vacancy report covering the month of December 2022. Plaintiffs do not oppose this brief 

extension request.
