ORDER
EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al.,
Defendants.

17
As required by the court’s June 14, 2022 order, ECF No. 7570, on June 28, 2022, the
18
Special Master filed a Report and Recommendation Regarding the California Department of
19
Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Proposal for Assuming the Annual Suicide Monitoring Report.
20
ECF No. 7574 (“Report”). The Report was not circulated to the parties for review and comment
21
prior to its filing; it is therefore presumptively subject to the thirty day objection period approved
22
by the court on July 29, 2019. ECF No. 6230. However, the Special Master reports that all
23
parties have agreed to the proposal appended to the Report, for the California Department of
24
Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to assume responsibility for filing annual reports on
25
completed inmate suicides. Id. at 7. The proposal provides for provisional approval for the
26
annual suicide report for calendar year 2021, followed by a meet and confer of the parties
27
supervised by the Special Master and submission of a further recommendation from the Special
28
Master as to whether the proposal should become final. Id. at 9-10.

The agreement reached on CDCR’s proposal represents a significant step forward in the
2
remedial phase of this litigation. Given both the complete agreement of the parties and the
3
Special Master’s assent to CDCR’s proposal, as well as the time sensitivity associated with its
4
implementation, the court accepts the Special Master’s recommendation to adopt the proposal at
5
this time. The Report itself will be adopted by subsequent order on or after July 28, 2022, at the
6
end of the thirty day objection period.
7
In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
8
1. The Special Master’s June 28, 2022 recommendation is adopted; and
9
2. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Annual Suicide
10
Report Proposal is adopted in full, subject to the provisional approval process
11
outlined therein.
