[PROPOSED] PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

1

This cause came on to be heard on July 21, 2010, on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary

injunction. After full consideration of the declarations, exhibits, and memoranda submitted in

support of and in opposition to that motion, and after hearing the argument of counsel, the Court

has made the findings and conclusions that support the issuance of the preliminary injunction

described herein.

GOOD CAUSE APPEARING THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED,

ADJUDGED AND DECREED that:

1. Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is granted;

2. Defendants County of Sacramento (“County”), Sacramento County Board of

Supervisors (“Board”), current Board members Roger Dickinson, Jimmie Yee, Susan Peters,

Roberta MacGlashan, and Don Nottoli, Sacramento County Department of Behavioral Health

Services (“DBHS”), DBHS’ current Director Ann Edwards-Buckley, and the County’s current

Mental Health Director Mary Ann Bennett (“Defendants”), and their respective successors in

office, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all persons in active concert therewith are

preliminarily enjoined from implementing or enforcing the “Hybrid Plan” which was approved by

the Board on June 17, 2010, unless and until the Court has determined that Plaintiffs Leslie

Napper, Jan Fischer, Jacquie Eichhorn-Smith, Ted Yanello and Lynda Mangio (“Plaintiffs”) and

all current and future adult recipients of Medi-Cal funded outpatient mental health services in the

County will continue to receive these outpatient mental health services in the most integrated

setting possible so as to avoid their unnecessary institutionalization and/or treatment through

hospital emergency rooms.

3. Defendants are further ordered to take all actions necessary within the scope of

their authority to implement the above preliminary injunction.

4. Defendants are further ordered to provide prompt written notice of this order to

Plaintiffs and all other adults who currently receive Medi-Cal funded outpatient mental health

services from the County, excluding those individuals who only receive their outpatient mental

health services from the Full Service Partnerships or the Behavioral Health Team or the

Guesthouse at El Hogar. A copy of the English version of the written notice is attached hereto

[PROPOSED] PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

and marked as Exhibit A. Besides mailing the approved notice to recipients, Defendants shall

make all reasonable efforts to give telephonic notification to these recipients and shall also make

all reasonable arrangements to post a copy of the notice in a prominent location at all outpatient

mental health facilities operated by or under contract with the County, and at the Sacramento

County Mental Health Treatment Center.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this preliminary injunction will remain in full force

and effect until the final judgment of this Court upon the trial of this action, or further order of

this Court, whichever comes soonest.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs need not post any bond in connection with

this preliminary injunction.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is denied as

premature at this time and without prejudice to Plaintiffs’ filing such a motion at a later date.

Dated: July 27, 2010 /s/ John A. Mendez_________________
