STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING WRITTEN PLAN FOR 

CONTEMPT FINES (ECF NO. 8330) 

On July 12, 2024, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer under the 

supervision of the Special Master and then “submit to the court a written plan for 

expenditure of accumulated fines ... to remedy ongoing mental health understaffing in the 

CDCR units covered by the 2009 staffing plan” within thirty days. July 12, 2024 Order, 

ECF No. 8330. The parties and the Special Master met to discuss the expenditure plan on 

August 7, 2024. The meeting was productive, but the parties require additional time to 

further discuss the proposals presented, as well as exchange additional information 

necessary to submit a well-formulated plan for the Court’s consideration. The parties 

therefore jointly request a two-week extension of the deadline, during which time they will 

continue to exchange information and meet under the supervision of the Special Master. If 

the Court accepts this stipulation, the parties and the Special Master have scheduled a 

follow-up meet and confer for August 14, 2024, and may have at least one additional 

session prior to finalizing the proposed plan. Given that the orders regarding Defendants’ 

deposits of the contempt fines are administratively stayed until the Ninth Circuit Court of 

Appeals rules on Defendants’ pending motion for a stay, which cannot happen before 

August 16, 2024, the due date for Defendants’ Reply, a short extension will not delay the 

disbursement of funds. 

Accordingly, the parties jointly request that the Court extend the deadline to submit 

the written plan to August 26, 2024. The Special Master has informed the parties that he 

takes no position on this request. 

 Respectfully submitted,
