IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC) 

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING THE DEADLINE TO ADD 

NEW CLASSIFICATIONS TO THE 

MONTHLY PSYCHIATRY VACANCY 

REPORT UNDER THE MARCH 18, 2022 

ORDER [ECF NO. 7504] 

Judge: The Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller 

 

The parties, through their counsel of record, stipulate to the following: 

1. On February 14, 2018, the Court ordered Defendants to file, on a monthly basis, a 

report “identifying the psychiatrist vacancy rates at each CDCR institution and in the aggregate 

systemwide . . . for the preceding month.” (ECF No. 5786 at 4.) The Reports must include the 

“data for psychiatrist vacancies contained in the report titled Correctional Health Care Services 

Mental Health Institution Vacancies: Summary by Institution by Classification.” (Id.) The Court 

ordered Defendants to file the report by the 15th day of the month. (Id.)

17953079.1 

2. On August 22, 2018, the Court approved a stipulation extending the reporting date to 

the last court day of the month. (ECF No. 5886.) 

3. On March 18, 2022, the Court ordered that Defendants, “[b]eginning with the next 

monthly psychiatry vacancy report and going forward, to include vacancy rates for Chief 

Psychiatrist and Senior Psychiatrist supervisor positions, as well as vacancy rates for Staff 

Psychiatrists. (ECF No. 7504 at 6.) 

4. Due to the additional data required to be reported under the March 18 order and the 

short amount of time before the next monthly report, Defendants require additional time to 

produce the updated psychiatry vacancy report. 

5. The parties met and conferred to discuss the required revised report under the March 

18 order, and Defendants represented that the psychiatry vacancy report to be filed on March 30 

will include the data required under the 2018 orders, but will not include vacancy rates for Chief 

Psychiatrist and Senior Psychiatrist supervisor positions. Defendants further represent that they 

will include the staffing allocation and fill rates for Chief Psychiatrists and Senior Psychiatrist 

Supervisor positions beginning with the psychiatry vacancy report due on April 30, 2022. 

6. Therefore, the parties request that the requirement for Defendants to file monthly 

psychiatry vacancy reports that include vacancy rates for Chief Psychiatrists and Senior 

Psychiatrist Supervisor positions begin with the report due on April 30, 2022.
