IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CARLOS PEREZ, et al.

Plaintiffs,

 v.

JAMES TILTON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 05-05241 JSW

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE

APPOINTMENT OF COURT

REPRESENTATIVE

On January 18, 2007, this Court attended, a conference that was held in Coleman v.

Schwarzenegger, No. CIV S-90-0520 LKK JFM P (E.D.Cal.) and Plata v. Schwarzenegger, No.

C 01-1351 TEH (N.D.Cal.) to discuss coordination of the remedial processes underway in each

case. Based upon that meeting and the parties’ Joint Supplemental Statement re Potential

Coordination Issues, dated January 11, 2007, the Court believes it would be useful to appoint a

Court representative to facilitate coordination with the Special Master in the Coleman case and

the Receiver in the Plata case. The Court also notes that it appears that the remedial phase of

this action will continue to be sufficiently complex, given the coordination issues with the Plata

and Coleman cases, such that it would be appropriate for the Court to appoint a Special Master

as the Court’s representative, and thus wishes to give the parties notice and an opportunity to be

heard.

Accordingly, the parties are HEREBY ORDERED to meet and confer and to submit

their respective positions on this issue by no later January 29, 2007. The parties may address

alternatives to the appointment of a Special Master in their submissions, and shall address a

matter in further detail at the February 2, 2007 status conference.
