SACRAMENTO DIVISION

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al., 

Defendants. 

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

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND TIME TO FILE STIPULATION 

IDENTIFYING PROGRAM GUIDE 

DEPARTURES 

On April 17, 2020, the Court ordered the parties to file by May 1, 2020 a stipulation 

identifying the “temporary departures from certain Program Guide requirements” for the 

provision of mental health care that Defendants had implemented in response to the COVID-19 

pandemic. (ECF No. 6622 at 2-3.) The parties met and conferred in response to the Court’s April 

17 order, and determined more time would be necessary to come to agreement on the content of 

the stipulation. (ECF No. 6652 at 2.) Accordingly, the parties requested and the Court granted 

the parties an extension until May 15, 2020 to file the stipulation. (Id. at 2, 3.)

Stip. & Order Extend Time File Stip. Re: Program Guide Departures (2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC)) 

 Since the initial meet and confer, the parties have continued to negotiate, under the Special 

Master’s supervision, the content of the Court-ordered stipulation identifying COVID-19-based 

departures from Program Guide requirements for mental health treatment and programming. 

During this period, the parties have exchanged draft stipulations and discussed various provisions, 

with the mutual goal of reaching a stipulation concerning this issue. Twice during the afternoon 

of May 15, Defendants sent Plaintiffs a version of the draft stipulation, but for reasons unknown 

to the parties, Plaintiffs did not receive that correspondence. The parties discovered this technical 

issue after the close of business today and continued their negotiations on the limited remaining 

points, but both sides determined that additional time is needed to reach an agreement. 

 The parties believe that, with a short extension of time, they will complete negotiations and 

reach a stipulation identifying the temporary departures from certain Program Guide requirements 

for the provision of mental health care that Defendants had implemented in response to the 

COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the parties request an extension of three business days from 

the present due date, such that their stipulation would be due by Wednesday, May 20, 2020. 

The Special Master is aware of and approves this stipulated request for additional time.
