As required by court order, on January 15, 2021, defendants filed proposed

19

activation schedules for completion of court-ordered suicide prevention recommendations. ECF

20

No. 7024. On January 29, 2021, the court approved the proposed activation schedules with

21

specific direction to defendants to notify the Special Master “if any project runs thirty (30) days

22

past any due date set in any activation schedule.” ECF No. 7043. On May 4, 2021, the court

23

ordered defendants to file updated activation schedules complete with current updates to the

24

Actual Completion column. ECF No. 7150. On May 12, 2021, defendants timely filed updated

25

activation schedules. ECF No. 7160.

26

The updated activation schedules show that approved schedules for some of the

27

projects have been delayed. Defendants have appropriately included explanations for the various

28

delays. Good cause appearing, the January 29, 2021 bench order is hereby modified to require
1

1

defendants to notify the Special Master immediately whenever a determination is made that a

project will be delayed and, not later than ten days after notice is provided to the Special Master,

to file an activation schedule updated to reflect the new projected completion date.1

As the court noted at hearing, defendants’ representation in any activation schedule that
a particular project is completed is subject to confirmation by the Special Master’s expert, Mr.
Hayes, unless the representation clarifies that Mr. Hayes has confirmed completion.
