Plaintiffs, STIPULATION AND ORDER
EXTENDING TIME TO FILE REPORT
ON LESSONS LEARNED DURING
COVID-19 AND PLAINTIFFS’
RESPONSE TO REPORT

GAVIN NEWSOM, et al.,

21

Defendants. Judge: The Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller

22
23

On March 29, 2021, after discussion during the March 25, 2021 status conference, the

24

Court ordered Defendants to file “a report on lessons learned from management of mental health

25

care during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the use of telehealth, decreased movement and

26

continuity of care[.]” (ECF No. 7112.) The deadline for filing this report is currently May 13,

27

2021. (Id.) The March 29 order provided Plaintiffs an opportunity to file a response to the report

28

within two weeks. (Id.)
[3653490.1]

Stip. and Order Extend Time to File Report on Lessons Learned and Response (2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC))

1

Although Defendants have worked diligently to draft a comprehensive and accessible report

2

setting forth the requested information, the report is taking longer than anticipated, and

3

Defendants believe that all parties would benefit from additional revision and refinement of the

4

presentation of this report. On May 7, 2021, Defendants submitted a request to the Court for an

5

additional thirty days to complete the report as ordered by the Court. (ECF No. 7153.) The Court

6

denied the request without prejudice to its renewal by stipulation of counsel or with an

7

explanation why such stipulation could not be obtained. (ECF No. 7154.)

8
9

Defendants have met and conferred with Plaintiffs concerning the need for additional time
to complete the report on lessons learned. Plaintiffs agree to Defendants’ request for an extension

10

of the May 13 deadline provided their deadline to respond is extended from two weeks to thirty-

11

five days from the date Defendants file the report.

12

IT IS STIPULATED AS FOLLOWS:

13

The parties stipulate and request that the deadlines set forth in the March 29, 2021 order

14
15

relative to Defendants’ report on lessons learned be extended as follows:
1.

On or before June 14, 2021, Defendants shall file a report on lessons learned from

16

management of mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the use of

17

telehealth, decreased movement and continuity of care, as described by Dr. Bick at the March 29

18

Status Conference; and

19
20
21
22

2.

Plaintiffs' response to the report on lessons learned shall be filed within thirty-five

days after Defendants' report is filed.
The Special master has reviewed this stipulation and has no objection to the parties’
requests for additional time.
