UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHERRI REYNOLDS, individually, and

LYNN SEGEBART, individually,

Plaintiff,

v.

COUNTY OF MADERA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:23-cv-00538-JLT-EPG (PC)

ORDER FOR DEFENDANT WELLPATH

TO FILE STATUS REPORTS

AND

ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL BRIEFING 

RELATED TO STAY

Plaintiffs Sherri Reynolds and Lynn Segebart are proceeding against Defendants County 

of Madera, Wellpath, LLC, and nominal Defendant Jennifer Lorin Johnson. All parties are 

represented by counsel. Plaintiffs contend that entity Defendants were deliberately indifferent to 

the Decedent’s serious medical needs and wrongfully interfered with their familial relationship 

with the Decedent by causing the Decedent to be subjected to unsafe conditions of confinement, 

despite his substantially elevated risk of committing suicide. (ECF No. 24). 

Defendant Wellpath, LLC filed a notice of bankruptcy on November 13, 2024. (ECF No. 

34.) At this time, and until further notice, Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant Wellpath are 

STAYED. See 11 U.S.C. § 362. Defendant Wellpath, LLC shall file a status report within ninety 

days of the date of this order, and every ninety days thereafter, to advise the Court of the status of 

the bankruptcy proceedings.

In addition, within 14 days of this order all parties shall file a response as to whether the 

claims against other Defendants should be stayed as well.
