No. 2:76-cv-0162 GEB EFB P

Plaintiffs,
v.

ORDER

JAMES GRANT, et al.,
Defendants.

16
17

Plaintiffs, a class of persons incarcerated in the Yuba County Jail, are proceeding through

18

counsel. On March 21, 2017, the undersigned held a telephonic conference. During the

19

conference, counsel agreed that a jail tour by the undersigned would be helpful in conducting

20

settlement negotiations. The jail tour is now scheduled for April 28, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. The

21

undersigned will be accompanied by two staff attorneys; if the dress code precludes anything

22

other than blue jeans, counsel for defendants shall so advise.

23

During the telephonic conference, counsel was asked if they wanted to highlight key areas

24

of the jail that are at issue, or direct the court’s attention to particular filings in the court record

25

prior to the tour that may assist in preparation.

26

Upon further reflection, the court finds that having the parties’ settlement conference

27

statements prior to the jail tour would assist the court. Therefore, the parties are directed to

28

exchange non-confidential settlement conference statements on or before April 25, 2017. These
1

1

statements shall be simultaneously emailed to the Court using the following email address:

2

[e-mail]. Any additional confidential information to be shared with the

3

court shall be submitted on or before April 25, 2017, pursuant to Local Rule 270(d) and (e).

4

The parties are reminded that the jail tour is in furtherance of confidential settlement

5

negotiations; as such, counsel and any parties are encouraged to talk freely.

6

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

7

1. The tour of the Yuba County Jail is set for April 28, 2017, at 10:00 a.m.; and

8

2. Any filing concerning the jail tour shall be submitted to the chambers of the

9
10

undersigned no later than seven days prior to the jail tour.
Dated: April 12, 2017
