IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCIANO PLATA, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

EDMUND G. BROWN JR., et al.,

Defendants.

NO. C01-1351 TEH

ORDER TO MEET AND

CONFER RE: PLAINTIFFS’

MOTION REGARDING

VALLEY FEVER

On March 20, 2013, Plaintiffs’ filed a motion concerning Valley Fever at Pleasant

Valley State Prison and Avenal State Prison. It is unclear from the papers whether the parties

have ever directly communicated about Plaintiffs’ concerns. See Specter Decl. (discussing

correspondence by Plaintiffs’ counsel to the Receiver, Secretary of the California

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”), and the Court’s experts, and

correspondence from the Receiver to Plaintiffs’ counsel, but not correspondence from

Defendants or their counsel to Plaintiffs’ counsel). In addition, the Court finds that the court

experts’ opinion would be helpful to the resolution of Plaintiffs’ motion.

Accordingly, with good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the current

briefing and hearing schedule is VACATED. The parties shall meet and confer with each

other, the Receiver, and the court experts to attempt to resolve the issues raised by Plaintiffs’

motion. The Receiver shall facilitate this process, which shall be completed by April 19,

2013. If the parties can completely resolve or at least narrow their dispute, then they shall

file an appropriate stipulation on or before April 24, 2013. If any issues remain for

resolution by this Court, then the following shall be the schedule:

1. Defendants’ opposition shall be filed on or before May 6, 2013.

2. Plaintiffs’ reply shall be filed on or before May 13, 2013.

3. The experts shall file a report expressing their opinion and recommendations on or

before May 24, 2013. If the Receiver wishes to file a response to Plaintiffs’ motion, he may

do so on or before the same date.

4. The hearing shall be held on June 17, 2013, at 10:00 AM.

Finally, the Court clarifies that the appointment of the Receiver superseded the

provisions of the June 13, 2002 Order Appointing Experts that allowed the parties to request

evaluations from the court experts or to request that the experts attend negotiations,

medication sessions, or court hearings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
