STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING ORDER MODIFYING 

FEBRUARY 3, 2015 ORDER 

REGARDING FIRST WATCH 

SECURITY/WELFARE CHECKS AT 

PELICAN BAY STATE PRISON 

SECURITY HOUSING UNIT 

Judge Kimberly J. Mueller 

The parties, with the concurrence of the Special Master, stipulate as follows: 

On December 28, 2015, this Court approved the parties’ stipulation that Security/Welfare 

checks using Guard One at the Pelican Bay State Prison Security Housing Unit (SHU) 

temporarily be conducted only once per hour during First Watch (2200 hours to 0600 hours), 

while Defendants worked to assess and possibly reduce noise caused by the opening and closing 

of the Unit’s pod doors. Order, Dec. 28, 2015, ECF No. 5393. That stipulation expired by its 

terms on May 1, 2016 but was extended by further stipulation of the parties and Order of the 

Court until June 30, 2016. Id.; Stipulation Extending Order Modifying Security/Welfare Checks

Stip. and Order Extending Order Modifying Security/Welfare Checks at Pelican Bay SHU

(2:90-cv-00520 KJM-KJN (PC))

at Pelican Bay SHU, Apr. 29, 2016, ECF No. 5437; Order, May 3, 2016, ECF No. 5438. 

The parties continue to discuss this issue. Defendants anticipate receiving a report from an 

acoustical consultant who has assessed the issue. Defendants intend to provide a copy of this 

report to Plaintiffs and the Special Master by July 13, 2016, for further discussion. 

The parties seek an additional extension of the Court’s May 3, 2016 order modifying its 

February 3, 2015 Order allowing Defendants to temporarily conduct Security/Welfare checks 

utilizing Guard One at the Pelican Bay SHU once per hour during First Watch (2200 hours to 

0600). This extension of the stipulation modifying the Court’s order will expire on August 31, 

2016, and may be continued by further Stipulation. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
