EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al. 

Defendants. 

Case No. 2:90-CV-00520- KJM-DB 

ORDER 

Judge: Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller 

On June 26, 2024, Defendants filed an ex parte request for leave to file an ex parte request 

for clarification and application for an order extending the deadline to deposit funds with the Court 

and to file certifications as required by the Court’s June 25, 2024 order on staffing contempt, ECF 

No. 8291. ECF Nos. 8298, 8298-1. The court granted the first request by bench order at a status 

conference on June 27, 2024. That order is confirmed. 

Good cause appearing, Defendants’ request for a ten-day extension to file the certifications 

and deposit funds with the Court beginning with the May 2024 staffing reports and for all future 

reports is granted, and the deadline to deposit funds with the Court and to file certifications for the 

May 2024 staffing reports as required by the Court’s June 25, 2024 order is extended to 

July 8, 2024. In addition, the Court clarifies the June 25, 2024 order as follows:

 ORDER 

1. Defendants’ deadline to file staffing vacancy reports for May 2024 is June 28,

2024; 

2. Defendants shall have ten days from the filing of each monthly staffing report to

deposit any accrued fines set forth in the report; 

3. Defendants Gavin Newsom, Joe Stephenshaw, and Stephanie Clendenin shall have

ten days from the filing of each monthly staffing report to review and submit certifications 

regarding data in the monthly staffing reports; and 

4. Defendants Gavin Newsom, Joe Stephenshaw, and Stephanie Clendenin, each may

submit the required certifications through an authorized designee only if the defendant is 

unavailable. As used in this order “unavailable” means the named defendant is unable to review 

the monthly report and sign the required certification within the ten day period set by this order 

due to (1) illness; (2) pre-planned vacation; or (3) work commitment during the ten day period that 

makes review of the report and certification impossible. The reason(s) for signature by a designee 

shall be included in any certification signed by that designee. If a designee signs on behalf of a 

defendant as provided here, the defendant shall be held to the designee’s certification. 

This order resolves ECF Nos. 8298 and 8298-1. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: June 27, 2024.
