Date Filed Document Text
November 15, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 24 MINUTE ORDER issued by the Honorable Roger T. Benitez: The Court makes the following tentative ruling in advance of the November 28, 2022 hearing: There exists a live case or controversy between these plaintiffs and the defendant(s). Notwithstanding the defendants statement that he does not intend presently to enforce the state attorneys fee statute at issue, the case is not moot. First, defendant has stated that he will enforce the statute if certain events occur in the future. Second, the defendant cannot bind a successor if he leaves office for any reason. Third, defendants position on non-enforcement does not bind county counsel, city attorneys, or private parties in the state that may seek to employ the benefit of the statute at issue. On December 16, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., a trial on the merits will be consolidated with a hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction, pursuant to F.R.C.P. 65(a)(2).
