Defendants will be able to agree upon an equitable allocation for the RSIP implementation

12

budget and the Monitor’s Office budget for fiscal year 2015-2016 in light of the guidance

13

provided by this Court’s May 14, 2003 Order Re: Initial Allocation, and their past

14

successes in reaching agreement. In the event that informal resolution is not possible,

15

however, the Court will make an equitable allocation.

shall each submit their respective proposed budgets to the Court and the parties.

faith to seek an agreement upon an equitable allocation for the fiscal year 2015-2016.
3. Defendants shall, by no later than Friday, May 8, 2015, file either a joint

23

statement setting forth an agreed upon allocation for fiscal year 2015-2016 or, if no

24

agreement has been reached, email the Court Monitor informing him they have not reached

25

agreement and stating, without argument, the areas of disagreement. The parties shall then

26

participate in a mediation process led by the Court Monitor in order to attempt to resolve

27

these areas of disagreement.
