Charles L Ryan, et al.,

Defendants.

14
15

The Court learned that, based in part on Dr. Stern’s expert report, an Arizona state

16

representative introduced a bill to repeal the privatization of prisoner healthcare. Dr. Stern

17

apparently had a conversation with the representative regarding the bill’s proposed

18

language. Dr. Stern sought guidance from the Court whether he could continue to speak

19

with the representative on this topic.

20

Because Dr. Stern’s testimony might still be needed in these proceedings, he is to

21

avoid communications with third parties regarding his work in this case. The Court will

22

inform Dr. Stern as soon as possible after the parties’ settlement conference on January 10,

23

2020, whether additional services will be needed or if he is free to communicate with third

24

parties.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 11th day of December, 2019.
