Brentwood Real Estate Developer, Ralph Horowitz, sues 350 poor families from South Central Los Angeles for $729,745.72.  In an ironic turn, the plaintiff claims the South Central Farmers have abused the legal system.

South Central Los Angeles, CA, March 7, 2006 – On Monday 6, 2006 the South Central Farmers were served legal papers (BC347949) by Horowitz’s law office of Overland Borestein Scheper and Kim, LLP.  The Plaintiff claims that the South Central Farmers have abused the legal system.

“This is very ironic, Horowitz used his expensive Beverly Hills Lawyers to hold the city hostage and muscled the city council into settling a speculative lawsuit (BC272571 LIBAW HOROWITZ INVESTMENT COMPANY VS CITY LOS ANGELES ET AL), even after Judge W. Crispo had ruled three times against Horowitz; the city officials conceded to give the land back to Horowitz for a mere 5.1 million dollars, extremely under the fair market value, since in 1994 it had been sold for 13.3 Million dollars”, stated Tezozomoc, Elected Representative of the South Central Farmers.

“Clearly, Mr. Horowitz, has used his financial influence with City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, who made the final recommendation to the City Council to concede the land back to Horowitz for well below the fair market value”, stated Tezozomoc, Elected Representative of the South Central Farmers.
