UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB P 

ORDER AMENDING FEBRUARY 28, 2023 

ORDER AT ECF NO. 7742 

As required by court order, ECF No. 7766, defendants have filed an amended version of 

the monthly mental health staffing vacancy report they originally filed February 9, 2023, ECF No. 

7717. See ECF No. 7788. After review and good cause appearing, the court amends its 

February 28, 2023 order, ECF No. 7742, at lines 12-17 to read as follows: 

As of December 2022, defendants have a total of 2,017.4 mental health staff positions 

allocated under their 2009 Staffing Plan.1 ECF No. 7788 at 5-9. More than ten percent of those 

positions are vacant across all classifications except recreation therapists: the vacancy rate among 

psychiatrists is fifteen percent, the vacancy rate among psychologists is thirty-one percent, the 

1

 The court assumes without deciding these allocations are derived from correct 

application of the staffing ratios in the 2009 Staffing Plan, as modified by subsequent court 

orders, to the existing population of mentally ill inmates at each level of care in CDCR’s Mental 

Health Services Delivery System (MHSDS).

vacancy rate among social workers is twenty-five percent, the vacancy rate among recreation
