IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH COLEMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-90-0520 LKK JFM P

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, O R D E R

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

On February 2, 2009, the court issued an order to show cause

as to why defendants should not be required to operate, on a

temporary basis, the mental health crisis beds at CIM-GACH as

presently operated and at current staffing levels,

notwithstanding the San Francisco Superior Court decision in Budd

v. Cambra. Plaintiffs and defendants have responded with no

objection to the facility’s continued operation. 

The court finds that the urgent need by class members for

mental health crisis beds persists with such severity that state

licensing requirements must temporarily give way to remedy the

Eighth Amendment violations that remain unsolved in this action.
