Appointment of Bassford Remele as Special Counsel in matter of Bruce Clark, et al. v. City of Saint Paul

Referendum Update
 

During the past two weeks, a number of events have transpired within the lawsuit.

The law firm of Briggs & Morgan appeared on behalf of the city and filed a Notice of Appeal.  The city also filed a motion seeking accelerated review of its appeal by the Minnesota Supreme Court.

The city also filed a motion to be heard by Judge Castro, seeking to extend Judge Castro's stay beyond the June 30, 2019, deadline set in his May 30, 2019 Order.

On June 18, 2019, Briggs withdrew as counsel for the city, citing a recently discovered conflict of interest.

On June 20, 2019, the Bassford Remele firm appeared as the new counsel for the city. (The city continues to be represented by the City Attorney, as well).

On June 21, 2019, the city filed a Motion for Expedited Consideration of its Petition for Accelerated Review.

All of the court filings can be viewed via the links found on the Referendum Court Filings page in our website Resources.

AgainstNotice of Objection to any outside Council, Fees are outrageous, City is self insured, therefore either eliminate City Attorneys http://lying-lawyers.blogspot.com
