Case No.: 2:16-CV-00995-APG-NJK
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO CONFER
ON APPROPRIATE INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF (THIRD REQUEST)

13
Plaintiff Robert Jackson ("Mr. Jackson"), by and through his undersigned counsel, and

14

15 remaining Defendants Jennifer Nash and Brian Williams (in their official capacities),
16 ("Defendants"), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to extend
17 the time to confer about the appropriate injunctive relief, as ordered in the Order (1) Granting in
18 Part Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment and (2) Granting in Part Plaintiff's Motion for
19 Summary Judgment ("Order"). (ECF No. 104.) The Court entered the Parties' Stipulation and
20 Order to Extend Time to Confer on Appropriate Relief on December 20, 2019 (ECF No. 108) and
21 Stipulation and Order to Extend Time to Confer on Appropriate Injunctive Relief (Second
22 Request) on January 24, 2020. (ECF No. 114).
Since this Court extended the time to confer about injunctive relief on January 24, 2020,

23

24 prison staff have implemented a temporary vegan menu for Plaintiff at High Desert State Prison
25 and provided Plaintiff with nutritional information concerning the temporary menu. Prison staff
26 also have continued to work toward a more permanent vegan menu with new vegan food items
27 that is expected to become available sometime in May 2020. Mr. Jackson is considering the
28 sufficiency of the proposed diet, as well as the impact of the proposed diet on the scope of the

1

1 potential injunctive relief. The parties have also participated in an ongoing Ninth Circuit
2 mediation proceeding in an effort to resolve this matter. However, the parties need additional
3 time to finalize plans concerning the permanent vegan menu and to complete the mediation
4 process. Counsel for the Parties believe that, with additional time and discussion, an agreement
5 may be met. Accordingly, the deadlines set forth in the Order shall be extended as follows:
6

Deadline for the Parties to confer about the appropriate injunctive relief: May 8, 2020;

7

Deadline for Jackson to submit a brief with the proposed relief in the event Parties cannot

8 agree: May 29, 2020;
Deadline for remaining Defendants to submit their response: June 19, 2020.
