Case No.: 76-cv-00162-GEB-EFB

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER 

POSTPONING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF 

THE AUTOMATIC STAY

18 U.S.C.§ 3626(e)

Pursuant to Local Rule 143, the parties stipulate and ask the Court to enter an Order that 

the effective date of the automatic stay under 18 U.S.C.§ 3626(e)(2)(A) be postponed 60 days as 

provided by 18 U.S.C.§ 3626(e)(3). Good cause exists for a postponement of the automatic stay 

and to maintain the status quo, as explained herein.

On May 13, 2013, Defendants filed a motion to terminate the Consent Decree in this 

case. (ECF No. 96). On June 3, 2013, California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. (CRLA) filed a 

response to the motion asking leave to withdraw as counsel due to restrictions on CRLA’s 

participation in class action and prisoner litigation that were not in effect at the time the consent

decree was entered. (ECF No. 98). On June 21, 2013, this Court granted CRLA’s motion to 

withdraw and appointed new counsel for the plaintiff class. (ECF No. 111).

Under 18 U.S.C.§ 3626(e)(2)(A) a motion to terminate prospective relief such as that 

filed by defendants here “shall operate as a stay . . . beginning on the 30th day after such motion 

is filed.” However, “[t]he court may postpone the effective date of the automatic stay specified 

in subsection (e)(2)(A) for not more than 60 days for good cause.” 18 U.S.C.§ 3626(e)(3). 

Under the statute, the automatic stay went into effect on June 12, 2013, thirty days after 

defendants filed their motion to terminate. 

Good cause exists for a 60 day extension of the effective date of the automatic stay. New 

counsel was recently appointed to represent the plaintiff class. The Court has reset the date for 

the hearing on the motion to September 23, 2013 to accommodate the academic calendar of the 

UC Davis Civil Rights Clinic, in order to allow the Certified Law Students in the Clinic to assist 

in the litigation of this matter. The 60-day extension of the effective date is the maximum 

amount of time allowed by the statute, and this extension will maintain the status quo while the 

parties work to resolve the issues raised by defendants’ motion.

Therefore, the parties ask the Court to enter an Order extending the effective date of the

Respectfully Submitted,

Dated this 21st of June, 2013 /S/ Carter C. White
