SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v.

Defendants. 

Case No. 2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC) 

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR 

DEFENDANTS TO FILE THEIR FINAL 

CUSTODY AND MENTAL HEALTH 

PARTNERSHIP PLAN 

 

On February 20, 2019, the Court ordered Defendants to update, finalize, and file their 

Custody and Mental Health Partnership (CMHPP). (ECF No. 6095.) On April 12, 2019, the 

Court approved the parties’ joint request providing Defendants until June 7, 2019 to file their 

final CMHPP. (ECF No. 6126.) 

Defendants met and conferred with the Special Master and Plaintiffs on the updated 

CMHPP and have revised the plan several times to address concerns raised by the Special Master 

and Plaintiffs. However, more work needs to be done to finalize the plan, including observation 

and development of proposed trainings, observation of existing medical and mental health huddle

Attorneys for Plaintiffs 

The parties are reminded that the purpose of the Custody and Mental Health Partnership 

Plan (CMHPP) is to effect “‘long-term and sustainable culture change’”, ECF No. 5477 at 7 

(quoting ECF No. 5439 at 142), to ensure an adequate collaborative culture between custody and 

mental health staff at all California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) 

prisons where class members are housed. See ECF No. 5477 at 6-7. The parties are further 

reminded that the task at hand is to expand the CMHPP that has already been developed and is 

“the product of significant effort by everyone involved”, ECF No. 6095 at 3, “to provide for 

training focused at the CCCMS programs and the custody staff who interact with inmates and 

mental health staff in those programs.” Id. at 6. With the understanding that the extension of 

time is necessary to accomplish the foregoing, the stipulation is approved. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
