JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE JOINT STIPULATION 

RE: ANNUAL SUICIDE REPORTS REQUIRED BY ECF NO. 8441 

On October 25, 2024, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer under the 

supervision of the Special Master to resolve ambiguities identified in the annual suicide 

reporting plan (ECF No. 7574) and then submit either an amended proposal that clarifies 

the ambiguities or a joint stipulation setting forth each party’s proposal to modify the 

annual suicide reporting plan to resolve the ambiguities. ECF No. 8441 at 8-9, 11-12. The 

parties and the Special Master met on December 4, 2024 to discuss resolving the identified 

ambiguities and Defendants circulated a written proposal on December 6, 2024. The 

parties have not reached agreement on Defendants’ December 6 proposal and require 

additional time to continue to negotiate a mutually acceptable method to resolve the 

identified ambiguities in the annual suicide reporting plan. 

The parties therefore jointly request a ten-day extension of the deadline to file either 

a proposed amended annual suicide reporting plan that clarifies the ambiguities or a joint 

stipulation setting forth each party’s proposal for resolving the ambiguities from Friday, 

December 13 to Monday, December 23. If the Court grants the requested extension, the 

parties anticipate meeting the week of December 16 to further discuss resolving the 

ambiguities. The Special Master has informed the parties that he takes no position on this 

request.
