IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH COLEMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-90-0520 LKK JFM P

vs.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, O R D E R

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

On December 19, 2006, defendants filed an amended long-term

bed plan. By order filed April 17, 2007, defendants were

directed to file, by June 15, 2007, a supplemental report setting

forth expanded planning information on two issues, namely, the

relationship between the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) and the California Department of Mental

Health (“DMH”), and CDCR’s plan for implementing the

reorganization and consolidation of its intensive mental health

programs to seven of its 33 institutions.

On June 13, 2007, defendants filed a request for a sixty day

extension of time to file the supplemental report. Plaintiffs

 This is based on defendants’ representation that AB900 1

contains its own pool of funds separate from the annual budget

cycle.

oppose the request. Defendants “request additional time to plan

the key components of the bed plan – staffing and consolidation

with the Receiver – within the new context of AB 900 and the

Governor’s Facilities Construction Strike Team.” Defs.’ Req. for

Ext. of Time at 2:18-19. 

The court is extremely concerned by defendants’ request. 

Defendants’ repeated requests for extensions of time demonstrate

their inability to respond to the crisis at hand with the speed

and urgency required. The court consulted with the special

master, who advised the court that granting the requested

extension will not interfere with defendants’ timely acquisition

of funds necessary for mental health crisis beds. Accordingly, 1

the court reluctantly grants the requested extension of time. 

The court will look with great disfavor on any further requests

for extension of time to comply with the April 17, 2007 order. 

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendants’ June 13, 2007 request for an extension of

time is granted;

2. Not later than August 17, 2007, defendants shall file

the supplemental report required by this court’s April 17, 2007

order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: June 28, 2007.
