UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

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

Defendants. 

No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB P 

ORDER 

On May 11, 2023, as part of his comprehensive thirtieth round of monitoring in this action 

the Special Master filed a monitoring report on inpatient mental health care at the six psychiatric 

inpatient programs (PIPs) operated by the California Department of Corrections and 

Rehabilitation (CDCR) (hereafter Report). ECF No. 7833. Neither party has filed objections to 

the Report. In accordance with Paragraph C of the Order of Reference the report will, therefore, 

be adopted in full. See ECF No. 640 at 8. 

The findings in the Report bear directly on plaintiffs’ pending motions concerning 

defendants’ plans for minimum treatment standards and recruitment and retention of staff in the 

PIPs. ECF Nos. 7812, 7813. In addition, in response to the court’s invitation, ECF No. 7817, the 

United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a brief setting out its views on plaintiffs’ 

motions and discussing specific relief it has sought in comparable cases. Good cause appearing,
