On August 11, 2023, the Court converted the previously scheduled enforcement

3 proceedings on transfer timelines for inpatient care to a “hearing covering essential updates
4 on defendants’ progress toward compliance with this important component of the remedy.”
5 Order, Aug. 11, 2023, ECF No. 7916 at 3. The Court ordered the parties to file a joint
6 report regarding the inpatient transfer timeline issue by noon on September 19, 2023. Id.
7

The parties have met and conferred and jointly request an extension of time until

8 September 26, 2023 to file the joint report. A one-week extension would allow counsel for
9 both parties to have adequate time to prepare the joint report while also preparing for the
10 contempt hearing regarding staffing and completing all of the other necessary day-to-day
11 work in the case, including the ongoing data remediation process. The parties also do not
12 anticipate that the focused hearing on inpatient transfers will occur until at least 6 court
13 days after the start of the contempt proceedings, in light of the proposed schedule for
14 testimony. See ECF No. 7941.

As such, the parties do not believe that the requested extension will unduly delay

2 the Court’s ability to prepare for the hearing on inpatient transfer timelines, which this
3 Court has signaled will immediately follow the staffing contempt proceedings.
