IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al., 

Defendants. 

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

STIPULATED REQUEST AND ORDER 

TO MODIFY THE DEADLINES FOR 

PAYMENT OF FINES [ECF NOS. 8291 

AND 8329] 

Judge: The Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller 

On July 2, 2024, the Court granted Defendants’ request for leave to file a motion to stay the 

court’s June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2024 orders regarding contempt and payment of fines. ECF 

No. 8313. Defendants’ motion to stay (ECF No. 8331) is fully briefed and awaits a ruling from 

the Court. The Court has indicated it will rule on that motion before noon on July 26, 2024. ECF 

No. 8329 at 3. 

Two sets of fines are currently due under the contempt order. The first set (nearly $112 

million) is due July 25, 2024. ECF No. 8291 at 72. The second set (nearly $10 million) is due by 

noon on July 26, 2024. ECF No. 8329 at 3.

Stip. Request and Order Modify Deadlines Payment Fines (2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC)) 

The Court has not yet ruled on Defendants’ motion to stay, and according to its July 12 

order, might not do so until after the deadline for Defendants to deposit the first set of fines with 

the Court on July 25. ECF No. 8329 at 3. Additionally, if the Court rules on the stay motion on 

July 26, Defendants may not have sufficient time to comply with the Court’s order that the second 

set of fines be deposited by noon that day. 

To ensure that Defendants do not have to deposit the fines until after the Court rules on the 

motion to stay and to allow Defendants sufficient time to deposit the funds after the Court rules 

on that motion, the parties agree that the court should extend the July 25 and July 26 deadlines to 

July 29. This deadline would also allow Defendants to seek further relief in the Ninth Circuit, if 

necessary, after the Court issues its ruling and before depositing the fines with the Court. 

Accordingly, the parties jointly request that the Court enter an order extending Defendants’ 

deadline to deposit both sets of fines to July 29, 2024. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

The court signed its July 24, 2024 Order, ECF No. 8339, denying defendants’ motion to 

stay, ECF No. 8311-1, before the parties filed the foregoing stipulation. The stipulated request to 

extend both deadlines for deposit of fines is moot, as the court has resolved the motion to stay 

prior to the expiration of either deadline. Nonetheless, under the circumstances the court 

exercises its discretion and permits both deposits to be made by 4:00 p.m. on July 29, 2024. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: July 24, 2024.
