Defendants.

The Parties to the above-captioned case, through their counsel, stipulate as follows:

21

1.

On May 1, 2006, the Court ordered that the Locked Observation Unit at

22

California Men’s Colony (CMC) would remain open as a thirty-six bed Mental Health

23

Crisis Bed (MHCB) unit. (Docket No. 1800 at 6.)

24

2.

However, CMC has forty regular rooms and two safety cells available in the

25

Locked Observation Unit and has, since 2006, used and staffed those 42 beds to treat

26

inmate-patients in need of crisis care. The parties have met and conferred regarding the

27

discrepancy between the number of beds acknowledged in the 2006 order and the actual

28

number of beds in the Locked Observation Unit. Also, the parties have consulted with the

Stipulation and Proposed Order Re: Number of Mental Health Crisis Beds at California Men's Colony (2:90-cv-00520 LKK JFM P)

1

Coleman Special Master on this issue, and he approves of this stipulation. Defendants

2

have also consulted with counsel in Budd v. Cambra, a state court case concerning

3

licensing requirements, regarding this matter.1 So that CMC can use all of the available

4

beds to treat inmate-patients in crisis, the parties jointly request that the Court’s May 1,

5

2006 order be amended to reflect that the MHCB unit at CMC has 42 beds.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
