First order
12-2020
This was written by an administrative law judge after 50 hours of testimonies. LCSD was ordered to fund Latham Centers.
We appealed
04-2021
Our attorneys felt the judge made an error and appealed the order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Injunction filed
02-2021
LCSD refused to follow the order. Our attorneys filed an injunction in federal court to enforce the funding and order.
Ninth Circuit Court order
10-2021
Three appellate judges decided the federal judge made an error and again ordered LCSD to fund Latham Centers. LCSD filed for en banc, continuing to not fund Latham Centers.
Order from federal judge.
03-2021
The federal judge ruled LCSD met the criteria from order and did not enforce the injunction.
9th Circuit final order
12-2021
The appellate court denied en banc and mandated LCSD to fund Latham Centers immediately. This form of action is not typical. They realized the need for Sequoia to be there as soon as possible.
