JOHN ARMSTRONG, et al., Plaintiffs, v. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al., Defendants. / No. C 94-2307 CW (N.D. Cal.) ORDER RE: TRANSITION PLANNING COORDINATION AGREEMENT

The Receiver in Plata, the Special Master in Coleman, and the Court Representatives in Perez and Armstrong presented to the judges in the above-captioned cases an agreement concerning planning for the transition, activation, and management of the Receiver's 10,000 Bed Project. On October 30, 2008, the courts granted the parties until November 10, 2008, to show cause why the agreement should not be adopted as a court order. Defendants filed objections; Plaintiffs did not. On November 17, 2008, the Receiver filed a timely response to Defendants' objections. In his response, the Receiver proposed "that he institute a series of meetings commencing in the near future to which relevant stakeholders will be invited for the purpose of discussing the 10,000 bed project and the Receiver's plans for managing the facilities to be constructed." Response at 3. Upon careful consideration, the courts find good cause to adopt the Receiver's proposal. Accordingly, the Receiver is HEREBY ORDERED to meet and confer with relevant stakeholders, including the parties, Special Master, and Court Representatives, concerning the coordination agreement on transition planning attached to the court's October 30, 2008 Order to Show Cause. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Receiver and Defendants shall file a joint supplemental statement on or before February 2, 2009. If necessary, this joint statement may // // 2
