On August 21, 2015, the Court ordered the Special Master to work with the Coleman

inpatient mental health care. ECF No. 5343. On September 29, 2015, the Special Master 

submitted the finalized templates to the Court. ECF No. 5363. On October 13, 2015, the Court 

entered an order approving the templates. ECF No. 5367. In October 2015, Defendants began 

filing the monthly reports on inpatient mental health care.

Stip. And Order Mod. 10/13/15 Order Re Census & Waitlist Charts for Inpatient Mental Health Care (2:90-cv00520 KJM-KJN (PC))

As previously reported to the Court, the memorandum of understanding between 

Department of State Hospitals (DSH) and California Department of Corrections and 

Rehabilitation (CDCR) for provision of inpatient mental health services has been updated. The 

memorandum of understanding, which was implemented on May 1, 2016, includes a new 

procedure for the referral of inmates for inpatient mental health treatment. Two of the courtapproved templates, Defendants’ Psychiatric Inpatient Program Referral/Waitlist and CDCR’s 

Psychiatric Inpatient Programs Trends report, have been revised to reflect the new referral 

procedures required under the updated memorandum of understanding. Copies of two versions of 

the proposed revised template for Defendants’ Psychiatric Inpatient Program Referral/Waitlist are 

attached as Exhibits A and B. The referral/waitlist report that will be filed beginning June 15, 

2016, and monthly thereafter until such time as CDCR is able to report the location of the 

program from which an inmate is endorsed for inpatient care is attached as Exhibit A. See

footnote 4 to Exhibit A. The final version of the monthly referral/waitlist report is attached as 

Exhibit B. The proposed revised template for CDCR’s Psychiatric Inpatient Programs Trends 

report is attached as Exhibit C. 

The Special Master and Plaintiffs have agreed to the revised versions of the templates. 

Accordingly, the parties, with the concurrence of the Special Master, stipulate as follows: 

Beginning June 15, 2016, Defendants will file, along with Defendants’ Psychiatric Inpatient 

Programs Census Report, the referral/waitlist and monthly trends report pursuant to this 

stipulation and in the forms attached as Exhibits A, B, and C. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
