STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: FURTHER EXTENSION OF AMENDED CONSENT DECREE

On January 30, 2019, United States Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan granted 

final approval to an Amended Consent Decree (“ACD”) covering certain operations of the 

Yuba County Jail (the “Jail”). Since then, Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld and the U.C. 

Davis School of Law King Hall Civil Rights Clinic (“Class Counsel”) have been 

monitoring compliance with the ACD on behalf of the Plaintiff class, which includes 

review of documents and information the County of Yuba provides pursuant to the terms 

of the ACD. The ACD was set to expire January 31, 2023. In anticipation of that, Class 

Counsel served discovery requests. Defendants James Grant, et al. (the “County of Yuba”)

stated that they would object to these discovery requests.

Thereafter, the County of Yuba and Class Counsel agreed that the current ACD

should be extended until May 31, 2023, or until approval by the Court of a stipulated 

Second Amended Consent Decree (“SACD”), whichever occurs first. The Court approved 

the stipulation by order dated September 26, 2022.

Since that time, the parties have negotiated in good faith to extend the portions of 

the ACD that address mental health care and related issues at the Jail. The parties reached 

agreement on a SACD and filed a joint motion for preliminary approval of the SACD 

contemporaneous with the filing of this Stipulation.

In order to give the parties time to pursue preliminary and final approval and allow 

time for class member review and potential objections, the parties enter into the following 

stipulation:

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HERBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and 

between the parties to this action, through their undersigned counsel, as follows:

1. If the Court does not grant or deny final approval to the SACD prior to 

May 31, 2023, the ACD shall remain in effect until the Court grants or denies final 

approval to the SACD.

2. If the Court denies final approval of the SACD, the ACD shall remain in 

effect until May 31, 2023 or for an additional one-hundred-and-twenty (120) days from the 

date the Court denies approval, whichever date is later. Any motion to enforce or to

extend the ACD shall be filed prior to May 31, 2023 or the additional one-hundred-andtwenty (120) days from the time the Court denies approval of the SACD, whichever is 

later.

3. All discovery shall continue to be stayed until the Court grants or denies final 

approval of the SACD. If the Court denies final approval of the SACD, Plaintiffs may 

pursue discovery without the need to re-serve their PMK deposition notices. The County 

of Yuba preserves all rights to object to that discovery.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
