STIPULATION AND ORDER SETTING SCHEDULE FOR FINALIZING PROPOSED ADDENDUM FOR 

EXCEPTIONS TO 24-HOUR TRANSFER TIMELINE FOR MHCB CARE 

The Court’s April 26, 2019 Order instructed the parties to suggest a schedule “for 

finalizing the proposed addendum covering exceptions to the twenty-four hour timeline for 

transfer to mental health crisis bed (MHCB) care.” ECF No. 6135 at 2. The parties have 

met and conferred regarding a schedule and accordingly stipulate as follows: 

1. As contemplated by the August 14, 2017 Supplemental Stipulation and 

Order, see ECF No. 5660 at 3, Defendants shall provide “individual patient-level data” to 

Plaintiffs and the Special Master “as part of the process for developing the addendum,” so 

that the parties may “discuss on a monthly basis any Mental Health Crisis Bed transfer that 

may qualify for an exception to the Program Guide timelines.” Id. at 2. Defendants agree 

to provide the first set of patient-level data no later than May 24, 2019. 

2. The parties and Special Master will meet at least monthly between June 2019 

and August 2019 to discuss the data and the application of proposed exceptions to the 

twenty-four hour timeline to individual patients, and to finalize the proposed language for 

the Program Guide Addendum. 

3. The parties will submit the proposed Addendum to the Court no later than 

August 30, 2019.
