STIPULATION AND ORDER MODIFYING BRIEFING SCHEDULE RE MHCB CONSTRUCTION

1

On October 8, 2019, the Court ordered the parties to file briefing regarding

2 questions raised by Plaintiffs at the September 13, 2019 hearing regarding MHCB
3 construction, access, capacity, and transfer compliance, and regarding whether an unmet
4 bed need study for the MHCB level of care should be conducted. See ECF No. 6312. The
5 briefing schedule set by the October 8, 2019 Order requires opening briefs to be filed on
6 November 29, 2019, which is an office holiday for both Plaintiffs’ counsel and
7 Defendants’ counsel. Moreover, the due date for responsive briefs is December 6, 2019,
8 the same date as the oral argument in the Ninth Circuit for Defendants’ appeal of the
9 Court’s July 3, 2018 Order regarding telepsychiatry. See ECF No. 5850. Lisa Ells, who
10 will be arguing for Plaintiffs in that appeal, is also one of the attorneys who will be
11 primarily responsible for the responsive brief regarding MHCBs. The parties therefore
12 request an alternative briefing schedule to the one the Court set on October 8, 2019, with
13 opening briefs to be filed on November 27, 2019, and responsive briefs to be filed on
14 December 9, 2019.
