Lawsuit Information
Our lawsuit against the City of Banning is continuing. Currently, we are awaiting the
Administrative Record from the City. This is the documentation of all information on the
case from the City of Banning and the developers. Often referred to “discovery” in a
criminal case. Our attorneys will review the information and note and request anything
that is not included.
A progress review, with Judge Riemer, between our attorneys and all other parties’
attorneys is currently scheduled for August 31, 2022. Although it seems tedious and time
consuming, in all lawsuits such as ours, this is how our legal system works, with no way to
shorten or avoid this part of the process. This may result in many back-and-forth meetings
that will continue until both “sides” are satisfied that it is as complete and accurate as
possible. The file then goes to the Court. We have no way of knowing exactly how long it
will take Banning to produce the Administrative Record nor how long this process might
take, but we will continue to post updates to the website as they occur.
