Date Filed Document Text
January 11, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 41 AMENDED MEMORANDUM and ORDER signed by Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr on 1/11/10 ORDERING that in conclusion, the court again acknowledges that plaintiffs'claims present a troubling depiction of the state of Sacramento County's dependency court system. The facts alleged relative to the named minor plaintiffs demonstrate a serious lack of responsiveness by the state's current system to the needs of children. However, to remedy these wrongs, this court must reallocate state financial re sources, reorder state legislative priorities, and revise state judicial policies. This proposed federal judicial takeover of these functions of state government not only strikes at the core principles of federalism and comity, but assumes an institutional competence that a federal district court simply does not possess. Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED. (Becknal, R)
