1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 12 Plaintiffs, 13 14 15 v. No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DAD P ORDER EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al., Defendants. 16 17 On September 29, 2015, the Special Master submitted finalized templates as required by 18 paragraph 4 of the court’s August 21, 2015 order, ECF No. 5343. See ECF No. 5363. The 19 Special Master represents that the templates have been agreed to by the parties. 20 The purpose of the templates is to capture data concerning patient census and waitlists for 21 inpatient mental health care. Under the terms of the August 21, 2015 order, a class member is 22 deemed to be on a waitlist from the date the completed referral packet is received by the 23 Department of State Hospitals (DSH) from the California Department of Corrections and 24 Rehabilitation (CDCR). ECF No. 5343 at 2 & n.1. That definition is expressly used in the 25 template found at Exhibit C to the Special Master’s submission of finalized templates. ECF No. 26 5363 at Ex. C. The templates attached as Exhibit B to the Special Master’s submission provide 27 information about inmates on both a “Pending List” and a “Wait List.” ECF No. 5363 at Ex. B. 28 The pending lists consist of “ALL inmate-patients waiting for an ICF or APP bed, including those 1 1 still within the Mental Health Program Guide transfer timelines” and “[i]nmate-patients are 2 placed on the Pending List as soon as the referral is sent to the inpatient program.” Id. (emphasis 3 in original). For the Exhibit B templates, “Wait List” is defined to include “inmate-patients that 4 have been on the Pending List for more than 30 days for an ICF bed, or more than 10 days for an 5 APP bed.” The Special Master has confirmed that despite the semantic differences in definition 6 the start date for placement on a “Pending List” is the same as the start date for placement on a 7 waitlist as defined by the court’s August 21, 2015 order. With that clarification, the templates 8 will be approved. 9 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the finalized templates filed 10 September 29, 2015, ECF No. 5363, are approved. In accordance with paragraph 4 of this court’s 11 August 21, 2015 order, ECF No. 5343, the first set of completed templates shall be filed with the 12 monthly report to be filed in October 2015. 13 DATED: October 13, 2015. 14 15 16 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
