STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO FILE JOINT REPORT ON MEDICATION ADHERENCE 

POLICY REQUIRED BY THE COURT’S AUGUST 14, 2019 ORDER [ECF NO. 6242] 

On August 14, 2019, the Court referred the issue of timeframes for and monitoring 

of medication non-adherence counseling sessions by CDCR psychiatrists and psychiatric 

nurse practitioners to the All-Parties Workgroup in this case for clarification. Aug. 14, 

2019 Order, ECF No. 6242 at 11. The Court directed that after engaging in the Workgroup 

process “under the guidance and leadership of the Special Master,” the parties “shall file a 

further joint report on this issue discussing the results of this additional work.” Id. The 

Court directed that the joint report be filed “[o]n or before November 1, 2019.” Id.

The parties have been working with the Special Master team to craft a clarifying 

memorandum on the issue of medication non-adherence counseling sessions by 

psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. In addition to significant collaborative 

effort between the Special Master team and defendants throughout October, the parties and 

the Special Master team participated in two workgroup meetings during the week of 

October 28, 2019. Although the parties have made considerable progress, there are some 

remaining issues that the parties are working through, and the parties require an additional 

two weeks to complete the Workgroup process and file a complete joint report on this 

issue. 

The parties agree that a two-week extension of time to file the joint report required 

by the Court’s August 14, 2019 Order is appropriate, extending the time for the required 

filing from Friday November 1, 2019 to Friday November 15, 2019. 

The parties have shared this stipulation and proposed order with the Special Master 

and he concurs with the parties’ request for an extension of time. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
