UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 RALPH COLEMAN, et al., No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB P Plaintiffs, v. ORDER EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al., Defendants. 16 On March 5, 2021, the Special Master filed his Twenty-Eighth Round Monitoring Report (hereafter Report). ECF No. 7074. The report contains numerous findings, but no recommendations for specific court orders. The absence of recommendations for court orders is deliberate, reflecting the Special Master’s assessment that the COVID-19 pandemic “has been, and continues to be, enough of a challenge.” Id. at 199/216. Defendants have filed objections to some of the findings, ECF No. 7082, and plaintiffs have filed a response to defendants’ objections, ECF No. 7103. Having reviewed the parties’ filings, for the reasons explained below, defendants’ objections are overruled except as noted.
