Jumping Turtle Still Has Some Bounce

UPDATE from Matt at the JT, 2-3-10: This email is to update the press regarding the ongoing situation involving The Jumping Turtle and the City of San Marcos, CA. On Wednesday, February 3, 2010 The Law Offices of Everett DeLano will be filing the first lawsuit on behalf of The Jumping Turtle, Matthew Hall and Laura Mouradian against 1) The City of San Marcos; 2) Susie Vasquez, City Clerk, individually and in her official capacity; and 3) Sgt. Glenn Giannantonio (of the San Marcos Sheriffs' dept.) individually and in his official capacity. We are not litigious people and have tried to handle this situation without filing any lawsuits. However, due to the defendants continued acts of unlawful behavior we were left with no choice. Hopefully, we will not be compelled to file further claims/lawsuits, but that can only be determined by the defendants possible further actions. Of course we are prepared to do so if deemed necessary. The following are the claims listed in the lawsuit: Complaint for Damages Injunctive and Declaratory Relief 1. Deprivation of Civil Rights 2. Conspiracy to Deprive of Civil Rights 3. Abuse of process 4. Nuisance 5. Harassment 6. Permanent Injunction 7. Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress 8. Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress 9. Defamation 10. False Light Demand for Jury Trial No dollar figure is listed in the lawsuit due to the nature of the losses and due to the fact that loses are accruing daily. Our intention is to reclaim the loses that have accrued due to the city’s illegal actions. Losses and damages are already well into the seven figures. (exact dollar figure to be proven in court) We are also suing for punitive damages so the defendants will hopefully think twice about illegally trying to hurt another business or any individual again. We have been approached by other businesses as well as individuals who have also been victimized by San Marcos, CA City Hall. One individual was compelled to start the blog site listed below: stopsanmarcoscorruption.com Here people can keep updated on some of San Marcos’ alleged dirty dealings and incompetence. Those who feel like sharing their own stories are invited to post individual blogs. Unfortunately, the stories we have heard, and our own experience, the City of San Marcos' politicians and employees have used their power to unethically and unlawfully hurt many good businesses as well as many good, honest individuals. IT NEEDS TO STOP!!! (continued in comment #3)
