IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

JOHN ARMSTRONG, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. C 94-2307 CW

ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE RE:

APPOINTMENT OF

COURT EXPERT

On April 19, 2006, the undersigned attended a conference with

the judges and court representatives for Coleman v. Schwarzenegger,

90-0520 (E.D. Cal.), Plata v. Schwarzenegger, 01-1351 (N.D. Cal.),

and Perez v. Tilton, 05-5241 (N.D. Cal.) to discuss coordination of

the remedial processes underway in each case. Based upon that

meeting and concerns expressed by the parties at the March 23, 2007

status conference, the Court believes that it would be useful to

appoint an expert to facilitate coordination with the Special

Master in Coleman, the Receiver in Plata and the Court Experts in
