UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al.,

Defendants. 

No. CIV. S-90-520 LKK/DAD (PC) 

ORDER 

On December 11, 1995, this court entered an order referring 

this matter to a special master and directing that the special 

master’s fees and expenses be borne by the defendants as part of 

the costs of this action. In the December 11, 1995 order, the 

court directed defendants to deposit the sum of $250,000.00 with 

the Clerk of the Court, said amount to be invested in an 

interest-bearing account. By subsequent orders, the court has 

directed defendants to deposit additional interim payments with 

the Clerk of the Court. A significant amount of work remains to 

be done by the special master and additional funds are required 

to pay his fees and expenses.
