STIPULATION AND ORDER RE:
NUMBER OF MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS BEDS AT CALIFORNIA MEN'S
COLONY
The Parties to the above-captioned case, through their counsel, stipulate as follows:
1. On May 1, 2006, the Court ordered that the Locked Observation Unit at California Men's Colony (CMC) would remain open as a thirty-six bed Mental Health Crisis Bed (MHCB) unit. (Docket No. 1800 at 6.)
2. However, CMC has forty regular rooms and two safety cells available in the Locked observation unit and has, since 2006, used and staffed those 42 beds to treat inmate-patients in need of crisis care. The parties have met and conferred regarding the discrepancy between the number of beds acknowledged in the 2006 order and the actual number of beds in the Locked Observation Unit. Also, the parties have consulted with the Coleman Special Master on this issue, and he approves of this stipulation. Defendants have also consulted with counsel in Budd v. Cambra, a state court case concerning licensing requirements, regarding this matter. So that CMC can use all of the available beds to treat inmate-patients in crisis, the parties jointly request that the Court's May 1, 2006 order be amended to reflect that the MHCB unit at CMC has 42 beds.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER
Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, this Court hereby amends its May 1, 2006 order (Docket No. 1800) to reflect that the Locked Observation Unit at the California Men's Colony operating as a Mental Health Crisis Bed Unit has forty-two beds and not thirty-six beds, as the order originally stated. No further revisions are made to that order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
