On January 22, 2007, the Court in Perez issued an order notifying the parties in that 1

case of its belief that it would be useful to appoint a Court representative to facilitate

coordination with the Special Master in the Coleman case and the Receiver in the Plata case. 

Because this issue has not been finalized, all references in this order to a Perez court

representative should be understood to refer to such a representative when, and if, a

representative is appointed.

 The Coleman parties shall submit proposed agenda items to Special Master Keating or 2

his designee, the Plata parties shall submit proposed agenda items to Receiver Sillen or his

designee, and the Perez parties shall submit proposed agenda items to the court representative in

that action or said representative’s designee.

2

On January 18, 2007, a conference was held the in the above cases to discuss

coordination of the remedial processes underway in each case. In addition to the undersigned,

participants in the conference were the Honorable John F. Moulds, Special Master J. Michael

Keating, Jr., Deputy Special Master Matthew A. Lopes, Receiver Robert Sillen, and Chief

Assistant to the Receiver John Hagar.

The parties to each of the above-captioned cases are informed that the special

master in Coleman, the receiver in Plata, and, if and when appointed, a representative of the court

in Perez will hold monthly meetings for the purpose of working collaboratively on issues related

to coordination of the remedies in each of the above-captioned actions. The parties to each

1

action will be permitted to submit, in advance of the meetings, proposed agenda items for

consideration by the special masters, the receiver and the Perez court representative. Attendance

2

of the parties at said meetings will not be required or permitted except at the discretion of the

special master, the receiver, and the Perez court representative; nor will the special master, the

receiver, or the Perez court representative be required to prepare or file written reports of said

meetings. Nothing in this order shall be construed to alter or amend such other reporting

requirements as may presently exist or be created by subsequent court order, nor shall anything in

this order be construed to alter or amend such rights of the parties in each action as have been or

may be established by court orders, the Local Rules of Court, or the Federal Rules of Civil
