Update on the Status of the Lawsuit:

On September 11, 2024, the District Court issued its ruling on the pending Motion for Summary Judgment. The court ruled in favor of defendants (Nevada County Restaurant Coalition) holding that the plaintiff’s opposition differed from the pleading in the complaint. The court held that this difference was material and prejudiced the defendants in such a manner that they had not had the opportunity to conduct discovery on the issues newly raised.

Plaintiffs are currently reviewing the ruling to determine whether an appeal to the 9th Circuit is appropriate.

Update on the case:

Nevada County Restaurant Coalition filed a 1st Amended Complaint on October 25, 2022, to conform with the order the District Court issued on October 04, 2022, reguarding the motion by the State of California and the County of Nevada to dismiss the case. While the order granted the State’s motion, it held the County to answe the issue of unconsitutional threats made to community members by government bureaucrats.
