Earlier this week, SunCal made an announcement that they have filed an amended lawsuit against the City of Alameda in federal court. It appears that the move by SunCal is an attempt to get the case filed in the proper venue.  In a filing last month in United States District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division, attorneys for the City of Alameda asked the court to dismiss SunCal’s breach of contract lawsuit against the City of Alameda, or transfer it to a local venue, on the basis that SunCal’s attorneys improperly filed the suit in a Southern California court. Last week, attorneys for the City of Alameda filed a response in Alameda County Superior Court to SunCal’s complaint against the City under the California Public Records Act. Dear Editor, Relevant specifically to Alameda residents, “SunCal”, a huge developer of dubious, if not outright criminal ethical standards, who last year attempted to facilitate their agenda by penning a 278 page voter referendum in flagrantly misleading language, is now trying to get their marionettes elected to mayoral and city council positions, again using [...] A SunCal affiliate, Argent Management LLC, has sent campaign contribution checks to some Alameda City Council and Mayoral candidates, and the candidates are sending the checks back. The City of Alameda appears to have scored two victories in recent days against SunCal, pertaining to a lawsuit that SunCal filed against the City late last month over a public records act request. The case is RG10537988 in Alameda County Superior Court. Yesterday, SunCal announced that they had filed a lawsuit against the City of Alameda under the California Public Records Act, claiming that Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant, City Clerk Lara Weisiger, “and other Alameda officials,” were conspiring to withhold and destroy public records that SunCal has requested as part of their U.S. Federal Court against the City. The City of Alameda responded by saying that SunCal’s charges are “demonstrably false.” As promised by SunCal’s attorney Louis Miller, SunCal, through their local development entity, SCC Alameda Point LLC, has filed suit against the City of Alameda in U.S. District Court. According to a copy of the complaint provided by SunCal on their website, the suit was filed on August 4th, in the Southern Division of the District Court’s Central Division of California. In a letter to SunCal’s attorney, Louis Miller of Miller Barondess, LLP of Los Angeles, the City of Alameda has insisted that it may take as long as 45 days to satisfy a “voluminous” public records request that Mr. Miller submitted earlier this month, alongside letters threatening legal action against the City. Attorney’s for Gray1 CPB LLC, a San Diego based investment fund that secured a $9 million jury verdict against SunCal and SunCal CEO Bruce Elieff last month have asked an Orange County court to compel Mr. Elieff to submit to a deposition to disclose his assets. Gray1′s attorney’s say that Mr. Elieff and his attorney “failed to cooperate in any manner to re-schedule” a planned May 28, 2010 asset deposition, and that they both “failed to appear at Bruce [Elieff's] re-noticed June 30, 2010″ deposition. |
