IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH COLEMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. 2:-90-cv-0520 LKK JFM (PC)

vs.

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

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Pursuant to court order, on November 17, 2011, the special master filed a report

and recommendation on the adequacy of defendants’ plan to furnish suicide resistant beds in all

mental health crisis bed units. Neither party has filed objections.

As detailed in the special master’s report, defendants replaced their initial plan

with an amended plan filed on November 16, 2011. The court agrees with the special master that

defendants are to be commended for the advances made in the amended plan, including

increasing the number of suicide-resistant beds that will be provided, extending placement of

those beds to additional units, and speeding up the timetable for their installation. The special

master approves the amended plan and recommends its implementation as quickly as possible. 

That will be the order of the court.
