SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC) 

AMENDED STIPULATION AND 

ORDER EXTENDING THE TIME 

UNDER THE DECEMBER 15, 2023 

ORDER TO RESPOND TO THE 

SPECIAL MASTER’S MARCH 21, 2024 

REPORT AND PROPOSED 

TELEMENTAL HEALTH POLICY (ECF 

NO. 8087) 

Judge: The Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller

On December 15, 2023, the Court ordered the Special Master to file a short report and 

proposed policy on telemental health and limited the time the parties have to review and respond 

to the report and proposed policy to fourteen days. (ECF No. 8087.) At the Special Master’s 

request, the Court extended the deadline for the Special Master to file the report and proposed 

policy. (ECF No. 8151.) On March 21, 2024, the Special Master filed a thirty-nine page report, 

accompanied by a red-lined proposed policy and multiple exhibits. (ECF No. 8165.) 

This stipulation supersedes the March 22, 2024 stipulation the parties submitted to extend 

the deadline to respond to the Special Master’s report. (ECF No. 8166.) On March 29, 2024, the 

Case 2:90-cv-00520-KJM-SCR Document 8182 Filed 04/02/24 Page 1 of 2

Amended Stip. and Order Extend. Time to Respond to March 21 Report (2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC)) 

parties met with the court-appointed Ninth Circuit mediator to discuss issues related to staffing. 

Issues relating to telemental health are inter-related to staffing and, therefore, the parties request 

that the deadline to respond to the Special Master’s Report and Proposed Telemental Health 

Policy be extended to two weeks following the end of the referral to the mediator. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
