the Special Master filed a monitoring report on inpatient mental health care at the six psychiatric

20

inpatient programs (PIPs) operated by the California Department of Corrections and

21

Rehabilitation (CDCR) (hereafter Report). ECF No. 7833. Neither party has filed objections to

the Report. In accordance with Paragraph C of the Order of Reference the report will, therefore,

PIPs. ECF Nos. 7812, 7813. In addition, in response to the court’s invitation, ECF No. 7817, the

27

United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a brief setting out its views on plaintiffs’

28

motions and discussing specific relief it has sought in comparable cases. Good cause appearing,
1

1

the parties will be granted a period of twenty-one days from the date of this order to file such

2

amended or supplemental briefing, if any, as may be necessary in light of the findings adopted by

3

this order or the DOJ response or both.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

5

1. The Special Master’s Thirtieth Round Monitoring Report – Part A, ECF

6

No. 7833, is ADOPTED in full; and
