FEDERAL JUDGE REMANDS CASES TO STATE COURT
Carol Spooner reports as follows:
Federal District Court Judge Martin J. Jenkins, at 6 PM Tuesday, signed orders remanding both our case -- the "listeners' lawsuit" -- and the directors' (Robinson/Kriegel) lawsuit, back to the California Superior Court for Alameda County.
This frees us to go to the state court ASAP to ask for temporary restraining orders and a hearing requesting a preliminary injunction against Pacifica (1) amending its bylaws, (2) appointing new directors or removing any of the "dissident directors", (3) moving its finance office and documents out of California, and (4) taking any substantial actions affecting Pacifica's assets, governance, management, or operations -- until resolution of our case.
Thanks for all your support!!!
