Home Depot vs The City of Los Angeles

BREAKING NEWS!
Home Depot Reinstates $10,000,000.00 Lawsuit Against the City of Los Angeles.
Case Goes To Trial in Mid-July 2009!

At today's Status Conference hearing in Superior Court, Home Depot sought to have the judge order the City to "wrap up the application".

They accused the City of violating the Stipulation Order by taking longer than 5 months to process their Project application.

The attorney representing the City pointed out that the reason it was taking longer to process their
application was because Home Depot had applied for exemption from CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act).

On Friday, City Planning issued a determination that denied Home Depot's application for categorical exemptions from environmental assessment. This decision obviously did not sit well with Home Depot, as the attorney for Home Depot waved the letter in the air calling it "meaningless" and stating that Home Depot was "frustrated".


The Judge did not grant Home Depot's request to order the City to "wrap up the application" and instead set a date for trial in Mid-July 2009.
