IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
DEBRA HATTEN-GONZALES, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
vs.

Civ. No. 88-385 KG/CG
Consolidated with
Civ. No. 88-786 KG/CG

BRENT EARNEST, Secretary of the
New Mexico Human Services Department,
Defendant.
SECOND ORDER EXTENDING APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL MASTER
The Court notes that its appointment of the Special Master expires on January 1, 2019.
(Doc. 809). In considering Defendant’s actions during the past year, the Court finds that, while
Defendant has made progress in complying with the Second Revised Modified Settlement
Agreement and Order (Doc. 854-1), court orders, and federal law, Defendant still has compliance
issues in need of resolution. The Court, therefore, determines that it is appropriate to extend the
Special Master’s appointment until June 30, 2019, and that the appointment will continue as
provided by (Docs. 751 and 762).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
