Stipulation and [Proposed] Order for Ext. of Time Re: 256 Beds at Atascadero State Hospital 

(2:90-cv-00520 LKK JFM P) 

Rehabilitation (CDCR) has begun to implement the Pilot Program. The Pilot Program revised the 

custody exclusionary criteria utilized for CDCR referrals to Atascadero State Hospital, and 

expanded the category of inmates that can be considered for admission. The Pilot Program will be 

implemented in all 30 adult male institutions. 

The parties, by and through their counsel, stipulate as follows: 

1. The Department of Mental Health shall have up to and including December 31, 

2009, to comply with the Court’s June 18, 2009 Order that it fill the full complement of 256 

intermediate care beds at Atascadero State Hospital with Coleman class members; 

2. By November 30, 2009, the CDCR Health Care Placement Oversight Program 

shall review all of the inmate-patients on the waiting list for the Salinas Valley Psychiatric 

Program at Salinas Valley State Prison using the Pilot Program to determine whether any of the 

inmate-patients on the list are eligible for admission to Atascadero State Hospital or to the 

intermediate care program at the Vacaville Psychiatric Program at California Medical Facility; 

and 

3. In accordance with paragraph 11 of the Court’s June 18, 2009 Order, Defendants 

will report to the Special Master by December 31, 2009, on how many additional intermediate 

care beds, if any, are required for Coleman class members at Atascadero State Hospital or 

Coalinga State Hospital.
