Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Motion to Amend the
Comprehensive Plan of Action. (Doc. No. 317.) In their motion, Defendants request that
the Court provide an extension of time from June 30, 2014 to August 30, 2014 to

complete the transition of D.P. to a permanent home pursuant to Evaluation Criteria 95.
(See id.)
On June 27, 2014, the Court took Defendants’ motion under advisement and
ordered Defendants to report to the Court Monitor on the progress of D.P.’s transition.
(Doc. No. 323.) Recently, both Defendants and the Court Monitor have reported to the
Court that D.P. has transitioned from MSHS-Cambridge to a new home. Therefore, in
light of the above, the motion is moot and the Court hereby enters the following:
ORDER
1.

Defendants’ Motion to Amend the Comprehensive Plan of Action (Doc. No.

[317]) is DENIED AS MOOT.
2.

Defendants shall continue to report to the Court Monitor on a regular basis

regarding D.P.’s living situation.
Date: January 13, 2015
