Case 8:18-cv-00155-DOC-JDE Document 390 Filed 05/08/21 Page 2 of 2 Page ID #:4454 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL MINUTES — GENERAL Date: May 8, 2021 Page 2 Plaintiff first requests an Order finding City to be in violation of the settlement. This Court does not find it appropriate to intervene in a nuisance abatement action involving private property having been decided by the Superior Court on Friday, May 7, 2021. The State Court order does not relate to the Federal Court Consent Decree. Accordingly, Plaintiff s request is DENIED. Second, Plaintiff requests the Court to suspend City action that would displace people pending 450 beds. Pursuant to Section four under "Enforcement of Anti -Camping Ordinances", the City shall "prior to enforcement of the Anti -Camping Ordinances against any homeless individual, [O&E Personnel will] locate and offer an available and appropriate placement in the City for the individual in question." See Settlement at 7. "If the individual declines the offered placement, the City may proceed with enforcement of the Anti -Camping Ordinances in its sole discretion subject to the dispute resolution process detailed herein." Id. at 2-8. Therefore, the City may not enforce until they have complied with the terms of the Settlement and have 450 bed spaces available. This instant action is not enforcement of the anti -camping ordinance, but the order of abatement from the Superior Court. The City's stated position is that it will not enforce in violation of the settlement. The City is ORDERED to file its position formally on the docket. Finally, Plaintiff requests sanctions with attorneys' fees and other actions. This request is held in abeyance pending the outcome of this dispute. The Court ENCOURAGES that the City of Santa Ana open shelter immediately for the benefit of the displaced homeless population and the citizens of Santa Ana. The Clerk shall serve this minute order on the parties. MINUTES FORM 11 CIVIL-GEN Initials of Deputy Clerk: is
