COMPLAINT TO ADD CLAIMS ON BEHALF OF PLAINTIFFS BOYCE AND HOLMES 

previously asserted claims against Defendant Madera Community Hospital, Defendant Susan 

Hogelund and Defendant Muhammad Anwar on behalf of Plaintiffs Regina Boyce and Julie 

Holmes. 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ request for Leave to File their [Proposed] Third Amended 

Complaint under FRCP 15 is based on: (a) the fact that Plaintiffs Holmes and Boyce were 

released from prison and therefore Plaintiffs contend that they are no longer required to follow 

exhaustion requirements before asserting federal civil rights claims against the CDCR Medical 

Defendants; and (b) a factual investigation by Plaintiffs demonstrates that Plaintiff Holmes 

timely submitted her claims to the Victim Compensation and Government Board and therefore 

she may assert tort claims against the CDCR Defendants Surydevara and Kruse; 

WHEREAS, on March 22, 2007 the CDCR Defendants agreed that Plaintiffs’ 

request for Leave to File [Proposed] Third Amended Complaint should be GRANTED and 

Holmes and Boyce should be permitted to file a Fourth Amended Complaint to plead federal 

civil rights claims and state tort claims against the CDCR Medical Defendants; 

WHEREAS, on March 23, 2007 counsels for Defendant Madera Community 

Hospital, Defendant Susan Hogelund, R.N., and Defendant Muhammad Anwar notified 

Plaintiffs’ counsel that the Third Amended Complaint as filed appeared to drop Plaintiff Boyce 

and Holmes’ civil rights claims that were previously asserted in Plaintiffs’ Second Amended 

Complaint. Plaintiffs promptly explained this was an oversight and all parties stipulated that 

Plaintiffs Boyce and Holmes may file a Fourth Amended Complaint to assert civil rights claims 

against Defendant Madera Community Hospital, Defendant Susan Hogelund, and Defendant 

Muhammad Anwar; 

WHEREAS, it is understood and agreed that the only claims Plaintiffs are 

permitted to add by this stipulation in a Fourth Amended Complaint are those allegations 

previously filed in this action as Plaintiffs’ [Proposed] Third Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, it is understood and agreed that this stipulation is made without

prejudice to Defendants’ ability to assert legal arguments regarding the merits of these causes of 

action at a later date; 

WHEREAS, it is further understood and agreed that Defendants do not concede 

that this or any other amendment relates back to any prior pleading in this matter; 

WHEREAS, it is equally understood and agreed that Plaintiffs contend that this 

and all other amendments do relate back to prior pleadings in this matter and reserve their right 

to oppose any potential argument by Defendants to the contrary. 

Accordingly, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED that: 

 1. Plaintiffs may file a Fourth Amended Complaint to the extent it adds 

claims on behalf of Plaintiffs Holmes and Boyce against the CDCR Medical Defendants, 

Defendant Madera Community Hospital, Defendant Susan Hogelund, R.N., and Defendant 

Anwar to the First (Violation of § 1983-Eighth Amendment) and Second (Violation of Eighth 

and Fourteenth Amendments) Causes of Action; and 

 2. Plaintiffs may file a Fourth Amended Complaint to the extent it adds 

claims on behalf of Plaintiffs Holmes and Boyce against the CDCR Medical Defendants to the 

Third Cause of Action (Professional Negligence), and Fifth Cause of Action (Intentional 

Misrepresentation). 

 3. In the interests of judicial efficiency, Plaintiffs shall file their Fourth 

Amended Complaint five (5) court days after the Court both: (i) approves this Stipulation and 

[Proposed] Order and (ii) issues its Order regarding Plaintiffs’ Motion For Reconsideration 

regarding the inclusion of the CDCR Non-Medical Defendants. 

 4. All parties agree that Defendants’ Responses to Plaintiffs’ Fourth 

Amended Complaint will be filed no later than twenty (20) days after Plaintiffs file their Fourth 

Amended Complaint.
