The Special Master filed his Report and Recommendation on a Final Proposed

2 Telepsychiatry Policy on December 15, 2022. ECF No. 7682. On January 17, 2023,
3 Plaintiffs and Defendants filed Responses to the Special Master’s Report and
4 Recommendations on a Final Proposed Telepsychiatry Policy. See ECF Nos. 7703, 77035 1, 7702 –2, 7702-3. In February 2023, after the parties filed their responses, the American
6 Psychiatric Association (“APA”) released a publication entitled “Telepsychiatry for Adults
7 in Jails and Prisons” which is a resource document for psychiatrists interested in or already
8 working with adults incarcerated in jails or prisons, and for whom telepsychiatry is a
9 current or potential clinical practice. The resource document is publicly available to
10 download at: https://www.psychiatry.org/Psychiatrists/Search-Directories11 Databases/Resource-Documents/2023/Telepsychiatry-for-Adults-in-Jails-and-Prisons.
12

On February 24, 2023, Plaintiffs sought leave from the Court to file a supplemental

13 expert declaration from Pablo Stewart, M.D. regarding the APA telepsychiatry resource
14 document. ECF No. 7739. The proposed supplemental expert declaration from Dr.
15 Stewart was filed at ECF No. 7739 at 4-23.
16

On February 28, 2023, the Court issued a minute order directing the parties to meet

17 and confer and file either a Stipulation or a Joint Statement of their respective positions on
18 Plaintiffs’ Request within ten days. ECF No. 7746.
19

Counsel for the parties met and conferred and agreed that Plaintiffs’ request to file

20 the supplemental Stewart declaration may be granted so long as Defendants are permitted
21 the opportunity to respond.
22

Accordingly, the parties request that the Court enter an order granting Plaintiffs’

23 request to file the supplemental Stewart declaration and granting Defendants leave to file a
24 response to the supplemental Stewart declaration, including the APA resource document,
25 within seven days of the Court’s order entering this stipulation.
