ABSTRACT: On December 21, 2017, SUSAN VAN KEULEN, United States Magistrate Judge, submitted ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION; WITHDRAWING AND REPLACING ORDER AT ECF 32. Importantly, Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of the Court’s dismissal of her claims against Flippo, the District Attorney for Monterey County, California, in his official capacity without leave to amend (ECF 32) is granted. “[T]he major grounds that justify reconsideration involve an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice.” Here, the Court withdraws its previous order at ECF 32 and replaces it in full with the order below in order to correct a clear error. Plaintiff’s claim is still dismissed, but Plaintiff shall have leave to amend on or before January 22, 2018.

CONCLUSION

Defendant Flippo’s motion to dismiss is granted with leave to amend. Specifically:

· Plaintiff is granted leave to cure her deficiencies in pleading injunctive relief;

· Plaintiff must correct the general Rule 8 deficiencies outlined above.

Plaintiff is ordered to amend her complaint by January 22, 2018. Pursuant to Rule 15(a)(3), Defendants must respond within 14 days after service of the amended complaint.

ABSTRACT: On November 13, 2017, Steven J. Andre, Attorney for Plaintiff, STACY LININGER, submitted PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL/ RECONSIDERATION OF THE COURT'S 11/6/17 ORDER to UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA.
CONCLUSION
Defendant FLIPPO, although a state official sued in his official capacity, is not immune from suit for prospective relief based upon the § 1983 allegations here. Plaintiff requests that this court amend the portion of its order finding such 11th Amendment immunity applies to her request for prospective relief and which dismisses defendant FLIPPO from the lawsuit.
Importantly, “a court should reconsider a prior ruling if it overlooked facts or precedent that reasonably would have altered the result. Id. That would be the case here, where this court ruled upon an area of law not briefed or argued by the parties as a basis to dismiss defendant FLIPPO.”

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT FLIPPO’S MOTION TO DISMISS WITH LEAVE TO AMEND IN PART, STACY LININGER, Plaintiff, v. RONALD PFLEGER, et al., Defendants, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ABSTRACT: On November 6, 2017, SUSAN VAN KEULEN, United States Magistrate Judge, submitted ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT FLIPPO’S MOTION TO DISMISS WITH LEAVE TO AMEND IN PART. CONCLUSION

Defendant Flippo’s motion to dismiss is granted with leave to amend in part. Specifically:

· Plaintiff is granted leave to cure her deficiencies in pleading injunctive relief;

· Plaintiff may not amend to state a claim against Flippo in his official capacity, but may state a claim against a district attorney in his or her individual capacity;

· Plaintiff must correct the general Rule 8 deficiencies outlined above.

Plaintiff is ordered to amend her complaint by November 28, 2017. Pursuant to Rule 15(a)(3), Defendants must respond within 14 days after service of the amended complaint.

Importantly, State Criminal Proceedings

The State filed two charges arising out of Plaintiff’s June 2015 calls. The first case sought revocation of Plaintiff’s 2014 probation for violation of conditions, including making harassing calls to 911, or alternatively, violating the law by violating California Penal Code 653m (making annoying phone calls as defined by the statute) (Case No. MS317393A). The second charged a violation of California Penal Code 653m(a) (Case No. MS333633A). ECF 11-1 at 9.
In January 2017, after a revocation hearing in Case No. MS317393A, the state court ruled that Plaintiff had not violated her conditions of probation. First, the court found that Plaintiff did not make calls to 911, but rather dialed the non-emergency 911 number. ECF 11-1 at 14. Second, in analyzing whether Plaintiff violated section 653m(b), the court found that even though Plaintiff did make repeated calls, she did not do so with specific intent to annoy or harass as the statute requires. ECF 11-1 at 17-18. Finally, the court concluded that the calls were made in good faith, which is protected by the statute. ECF 11-1 at 18. In May 2017, the State dismissed the second case charging a violation of California Penal Code 653m(a).
Plaintiff’s Complaint and Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss
Plaintiff now brings a complaint against a Carmel Police Department officer Roger Pfleger, the City of Carmel, and the Monterey County District Attorney, Dean Flippo. Plaintiff asserts three causes of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983: 1) Against Defendant Pfleger for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment; 2) Against the City of Carmel for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment; and 3) Against Defendant Flippo for malicious prosecution in violation of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment.

CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION ‘Concurred:’ NOTICE OF PROPOSED IMMATERIAL PERMIT AMENDMENT 9-14-1735-A3 / A-3-MRA-14-0050-A3 Application to amend Coastal Development Permits No. 9-13-1735 / A-3-MRA-14-0050 granted to California American Water Company (“Cal-Am”) for constructing, operating, and decommissioning a test well, along Monterey Bay shoreline, Monterey County

ABSTRACT: On Wednesday, December 13, 2017, the California Coastal Commission “concurred” on NOTICE OF PROPOSED IMMATERIAL PERMIT AMENDMENT 9-14-1735-A3 / A-3-MRA-14-0050-A3 Application to amend Coastal Development Permits No. 9-13-1735 / A-3-MRA-14-0050 granted to California American Water Company (“Cal-Am”) for constructing, operating, and decommissioning a test well, along Monterey Bay shoreline, Monterey County. The Energy, Ocean Resources and Federal Consistency Division Deputy Director's Report for December 2017 from Alison Dettmer, Deputy Director and Notice of Proposed Immaterial Amendment: CDP 9-14-1735-A3/A-3-MRA-14-0050-A3 California American Water November 29, 2017 report document copy is embedded. Requested Amendment: On November 2, 2017 Cal-Am submitted an application to the Commission requesting the CDPs be further amended to allow the existing test well to remain in place for an additional year. Special Condition 6 of the current CDPs requires no later than February 28, 2018 that Cal-Am complete its pump test, cut off, cap, and bury the slant well head, and remove all other associated temporary facilities. Cal-Am is now requesting that deadline be changed to February 28, 2019. As part of its request, Cal-Am states that it will discontinue ongoing operations of the test well and will conduct just limited periodic maintenance pumping (i.e., up to a few hours each week) during the one-year extension.

The purpose of the requested extension is to allow the test well facilities to remain in place while Cal-Am completes its ongoing CEQA and NEPA review processes with the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (“MBNMS”). If the CPUC certifies the CEQA document and approves a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Cal-Am’s proposed long-term desalination facility, Cal-Am may then apply for CDPs to make the existing test well part of its proposed permanent desalination facility. Should the CEQA and NEPA review process take longer than currently anticipated, Cal-Am may also request a subsequent extension of these CDPs.

Carmel Art Association Presents ALL-MEMBER SHOW ‘THE ART OF GIFTING’

Carmel Art Association

Mission Statement:
The Association exists to provide its members with a permanent art gallery, to advance knowledge of, and interest in the arts, and to create a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among artists and the community.

A Proud Heritage:

The legendary Carmel Art Association was formed on August 8, 1927 by a small group of artists who gathered at “Gray Gables,” the modest home/studio of Josephine Culbertson and Ida Johnson at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln in Carmel-by-the-Sea. These nineteen “pioneers”—who grew up in the 19th century and individually found their respective paths to Carmel from all corners of the world—each desired a greater sense of community, a spirit of collaboration, and a place to show their work. Before the meeting concluded, they had established an association with a mission “to advance art and cooperation among artists, secure a permanent exhibition space, and promote greater fellowship between artists and the public.”

W/s Dolores St. between 5th Av. & 6th Av.
10:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M., Daily
Open to the Public at No Charge
