Another chapter in Orange County homeless saga continues w/ motion to halt closure of service provider. This is part of a proposed class action, and not exactly the harmonious dispute resolution process Judge Carter's consent decrees were aimed at: bit.ly/3Clno1D

This isn't completely unexpected, as there are other lawsuits including Santa Ana's still-pending lawsuit against OC over jail releases and out-of-city transfers, which I wrote about last year for @timesocofficial. lat.ms/3AiDMPH

But it's worth noting that people in LA celebrate Judge Carter's involvement up there because they want to replicate the same kind of consent decree dispute resolution process. But that assumes things are actually going well in OC, which is in reality heavily debatable.

There's still no solution to the Santa Ana v. OC lawsuit, and the new proposed class action against @CityOfOrangeCA lays out some of the ongoing problems with services. (Here's the complaint: bit.ly/3lgBv11)

We should see a decision on the TRO motion soon, and it'll come from Judge Carter. The case was assigned to Judge Selna, but it's obviously related to the 2018 lawsuit that gave us all those consent decrees, so Carter took the case today.

Carter's out of town until next week, but he can rule on the TRO request without a hearing. So stay tuned for that.

Here's a big 163-page document with all the exhibits and declarations for the TRO motion: bit.ly/2XkoPOG

I'm hearing this complaint a lot. Santa Ana v. OC on continuous hold. Judge Carter busy for months and months in Los Angeles, and now he's back to traveling internationally.
