UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EMMA C., et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

DELAINE EASTIN, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 96-cv-04179-TEH 

ORDER SETTING SCHEDULE FOR 

ALLOCATION PROCESS FOR 

FISCAL YEAR 2015-2016 

A new fiscal year will commence on July 1, 2015. The Court hopes that 

Defendants will be able to agree upon an equitable allocation for the RSIP implementation 

budget and the Monitor’s Office budget for fiscal year 2015-2016 in light of the guidance 

provided by this Court’s May 14, 2003 Order Re: Initial Allocation, and their past 

successes in reaching agreement. In the event that informal resolution is not possible, 

however, the Court will make an equitable allocation. 

To facilitate conducting the allocation process in a timely manner, the Court sets 

forth the following schedule: 

1. By no later than Friday, April 17, 2015, Ravenswood and the Court Monitor 

shall each submit their respective proposed budgets to the Court and the parties. 

2. The Defendants shall, as soon as possible thereafter, meet and confer in good 

faith to seek an agreement upon an equitable allocation for the fiscal year 2015-2016. 

3. Defendants shall, by no later than Friday, May 8, 2015, file either a joint 

statement setting forth an agreed upon allocation for fiscal year 2015-2016 or, if no 

agreement has been reached, email the Court Monitor informing him they have not reached 

agreement and stating, without argument, the areas of disagreement. The parties shall then 

participate in a mediation process led by the Court Monitor in order to attempt to resolve 

these areas of disagreement.

agreement has been reached, separate opening briefs setting forth their respective positions 

with respect to an appropriate allocation. 

5. If the parties have not reached agreement, Defendants shall respond to each 

other’s opening briefs by no later than Friday, June 5, 2015. If Plaintiffs wish to address 

this matter, they may file comments responding to Defendants’ opening briefs no later than 

Friday, June 5, 2015. The Court shall hold a hearing on the allocation issue, if necessary, 

on Monday, June 15, 2015, at 10:00AM. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
