U.S. sues SoCal Edison alleging liability for 2020 Bobcat Fire

By City News Service

The U.S. government Friday sued Southern California Edison, alleging in federal court that the Bobcat Fire -- one of the largest wildfires ever in Los Angeles County -- was caused by the failure of Socal Edison and its tree maintenance contractor to properly maintain trees that came into contact with power lines and caused the 2020 blaze.

The complaint filed in Los Angeles federal court alleges that the Socal Edison and Utility Tree Service were negligent and therefore liable for damages sustained by the government during the fire that burned more than 114,000 acres, nearly 100,000 of which were in the Angeles National Forest.

SoCal Edison spokesman Reggie Kumar said that while it would not be appropriate to discuss pending litigation, the company's "thoughts remain with the people who were affected by the Bobcat Fire, who lost homes, vehicles and were evacuated. We are reviewing the U.S. Department of Justice's legal action."

According to the complaint, the U.S. Forest Service sustained fire suppression costs in excess of $56 million, and it incurred property and natural resource damages of more than $65 million.

"Forest Service investigators determined that the Bobcat Fire ignited due to a tree in contact with power lines (conductors) owned and operated by SCE and maintained by SCE and UTS," the lawsuit states. "The contact resulted in

The Los Angeles City CouncilTuesday approvedrecommendations intended to promote and track the filing of gun violence restraining orders against people who pose a danger to themselves or others.

The council voted 14-0 to support recommendations in a report from the Los Angeles Police Department, with Councilwoman Heather Hutt absent for the vote.

LAPD Detective Marie Sadanaga, a gun violence restraining order coordinator, filed the report, which

recommends the creation of a database that can be used by the LAPD and the City Attorney's Office to track gun violence emergency protective orders and temporary firearms restraining orders. It also recommends partnering with the L.A. County Office of Violence Prevention to increase awareness in the community about GVROs.

According to the report, the database will serve to ensure proper follow-up on mandated hearings, within a 21-day time frame, to consider a long- term GVRO that would limit an individ-

ual from accessing firearms for up to five years. The report also notes that GVRO denials and inquiries should be tracked.

Other recommendations include raising GVRO awareness and enforcement in partnership with courts, communities and law enforcement.

The LAPD previously established an internal database to track GVROs obtained by officers, but the City Attorney's Office is unable to access it.

The report was initiated by a motion introduced by Councilman Tim McOsker in

February seeking to identify the "necessary resources" to promote and track the use of California Red Flag laws to file GVROs.

"California's Red Flag law allows employers, coworkers, teachers and family to seek a court order to remove firearms from a person they perceive as potentially dangerous," McOsker's motion read. "Through removing firearms, even temporarily, from the possession of a person who is considered a threat to others, red flag laws are a tool to prevent gun violence."

SAG-AFTRA to vote on strike authorization targeting video game producers

By City News Service

Robert Klane, 'Weekend At Bernie's' creator, dies at Woodland Hills home

By City News Service

Information for a strike-authorization vote targeting video game production companies was set to be mailed Tuesday to eligible members of the SAG-AFTRA actors' union, which is already on strike against Hollywood film and TV studios.

"It has been nearly a year since SAG-AFTRA's video game contract, the Interactive Media Agreement, was extended beyond the original expiration date as we negotiated with the companies for critical terms SAG-AFTRA members need," union officials said in a recent statement. "Unfortunately, throughout the negotiations, the companies have failed to address those needs. For this reason, the negotiating committee and National Board unanimously agreed that the union should have a member-approved strike authorization in hand when bargaining resumes on Sept. 26."

The video game companies involved in the talks include Activision Productions, Blindlight, Disney Character Voices, Electronic Arts Productions, Epic Games, Formosa Interactive, Insomniac Games, Take 2 Productions, VoiceWorks Productions and WB Games.

Attempts to reach those companies for a comment were not immediately successful.

The video game agreement is separate from the contract covering film and TV actors, who are on strike amid stalled talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The union noted that many key issues are the same, most notably compensation and protections against the use of artificial intelligence.

According to the union, SAG-AFTRA is seeking an 11% retroactive wage increase and 4% increases in the second and third years of the contract, along with mandatory rest breaks, on-set medics during stunts or hazardous work and "vocal stress protections."

Voting on the strike authorization will close Sept. 25.

Hollywood screenplay writer Robert Klane -- best known for the 1989 dark comedy "Weekend at Bernie's" -has died.

The writer passed away from kidney failure after a long illness on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at his home in Woodland Hills, family members confirmed Monday. He was 81.

Because of his work writing and executive producing "Weekend at Bernie's," a film in which two men put a pair of sunglasses on their dead boss to make it seem as though he's still alive, jokes about Klane not really being dead or being seen having a great night out after his death were circulating on social media as a way to honor his memory.

Klane also wrote and directed the sequel, "Weekend at Bernie's II," and worked on a variety of other films, including "National Lampoon's European

Vacation," "The Man With One Red Shoe," "Thank

God It's Friday," "Where's Poppa?" and "Folks!" He is also credited as a writer for television, including several "M*A*S*H*" episodes.

In a statement shared with media outlets from actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner, Klane was called a "brilliant comedy mind," and Reiner commended the writer's lack of self-censorship.

"That's what made him great and set him apart," Reiner said. "He was fearless."

A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Klane first rose to prominence with his 1968 debut novel, "The Horse is Dead." His later works would be adapted into feature films, which is how he transitioned into being a screenplay writer and filmmaker.

Klane is survived by his wife J.C. Scott; his brother Larry; sons

San Bernardino County gains national attention for efforts to address homelessness

The Board of Supervisors’ commitment to addressing homelessness has been recognized by the National Association of Counties (NACo). A 2023 NACo Achievement Award was presented to the county for implementing Point-InTime Count (PITC) virtual training, which resulted in a 41 percent increase in the number of volunteers trained between 2020 and 2022. Before virtual trainings, San Bernardino County prepared volunteers for the annual homeless count at various county offices, which created a barrier for potential volunteers who could not attend. To address this issue, the county moved PITC trainings to a virtual setting, allowing for more volunteers to attend without having to travel to a physical site.

Los Angeles receives 12th bus of migrants from Texas

By City News Service

Another bus carrying migrants from Texas arrived in Los Angeles Monday morning, the 12th such arrival since June 14, according to Mayor Karen Bass' office.

"One bus with migrants on board from Texas arrived around 7:15 a.m. PT today at Union Station. This is the twelfth bus that has arrived," said Zach Seidl, deputy mayor of communications.

"The city has continued to work with city departments, the county, and a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners, to execute a plan set in place earlier this year. As we have before, when we became aware of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan," Seidl added.

After the previous bus arrived last week, Bass' office said the city had welcomed a total of 435 migrants from Texas since the first bus arrived.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott

has been orchestrating the trips under Operation Lone Star, saying Texas' border region is "overwhelmed" by immigrants crossing the Mexican border. OLS is a joint operation between the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Military Department along the southern border between Texas and Mexico.

Abbott said the operation is intended to counter the influx of immigrants, illegal drug trade and human smuggling. On X, formerly Twitter, he said the operation as of Aug. 26 has resulted in more than 420,800 apprehensions, 33,600 criminal arrests, 30,500 felony charges, 436 million fentanyl doses seized and 33,230 migrants bused to cities established as "Sanctuary Cities."

Abbott added, "Texas secures the border in Pres. (Joe) Biden's absence."

"Texas' small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally

crossing into Texas from Mexico because of President Biden's refusal to secure the border," Abbott said in a statement after the first bus arrived in Los Angeles in June.

"Los Angeles is a major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary city status," he added. "Our border communities are on the front lines of President Biden's border crisis, and Texas will continue providing this much-needed relief until he steps up to do his job and secure the border."

The Los Angeles City Council approved a motion on June 9 seeking to formally establish the city as a sanctuary city.

Last week, the council approved a motion calling for the City Attorney's Office to investigate whether crimes were committed on or before June 14, when Abbott sent 42 migrants to Los Angeles in the first of the shipments.

Series:Uncovered: How the Insurance Industry Denies Coverage to Patients

Health insurers reject millions of claims for treatment every year in America. Corporate insiders, recordings and internal emails expose the system and its harm.

Have you ever had a health care claim denied by your insurer? Ever tried to appeal it? Did you wind up confused, frustrated, exhausted, defeated?

I’ve been a health care reporter for more than 40 years. And when I tried to figure out how to appeal insurance denials, I wound up the same way. And I didn’t even try to file an actual appeal.

ProPublica came to me earlier this year with what might have seemed like a simple proposition. They wanted me to create an interactive appeals guide that would help readers navigate their insurers’ maze. (A team of reporters at ProPublica and The Capitol Forum has been investigating all the ways that insurers deny payments for health care. If you’ve got a story to share, let them know at propublica.org/getinvolved/ insurance-denial-healthcare-investigation.)

Over the next several weeks, I spoke with more than 50 insurance experts,

patients, lawyers, physicians and consumer advocates. Nearly everyone said the same thing: Great idea. But almost impossible to do. The insurance industry and its regulators have made it so complicated to file an appeal that only a tiny percentage of patients ever do. For example, less than two-tenths of 1% of patients in Obamacare plans bothered to appeal claims denied in 2021.

The central problem: There are many kinds of insurance in the U.S., and they have different processes for appealing a denial. And no lawmakers or regulators in state and federal governments have forced all insurers to follow one simple standard.

I tried to create a spreadsheet that would guide readers through the appeals process for all the different types of insurance and circumstances. When a patient needs care urgently, for instance, an appeal follows a different track. But with each day of reporting, with each expert interviewed, it got more and more confusing. There was a point when I thought I was drowning in exceptions and caveats. Some nights were filled with a sense that I was trapped in an impossible labyrinth, with signs pointing to pathways that

By Cheryl Clark for ProPublica

just kept getting me further lost.

Here are some of the issues that make it so confusing:

First, people have to know exactly what kind of insurance they have. You may think that UnitedHealthcare is your insurer because that’s the name on your insurance card, but that card doesn’t tell you what kind of plan you have. Your real insurer may be your employer. Some 65% of workers who get their coverage through their employers are in what’s known as “self-funded plans,” according to KFF (formerly Kaiser Family Foundation). That means the employer pays for medical costs, though it may hire an insurance company like UnitedHealthcare to administer claims.

The other main type of insurance that companies provide for their workers is known as a “fully insured plan.” The employer hires an insurer to take all the risk and pay the claims. With that kind of plan, the name on your card really is your insurer. Why does this difference matter? Because the route you follow to challenge an insurance denial can differ based on whether it’s a fully insured plan or a self-funded one.

But all too often people don’t know what kind of plan they have and aren’t really sure how to find out. I’m told

that some employers’ human resources departments don’t know either — although they should.

“It is a little scary, because people honestly don’t really know what they have,” said Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at KFF who specializes in health insurance research. “I’m just going to warn you that if you set up the decision tree with an A: yes, B: no, or C: not sure, you’ll find a lot of people clicking not sure.”

Government insurance is its own tangle. I am a Medicare beneficiary with a supplemental plan and a Part D plan for drug coverage. The appeals process for drug denials is different from the one for the rest of my health care. And that’s different from

the process that people with Medicare Advantage plans have to follow.

A spokesperson for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that oversees Medicare, wrote in an email that the agency “has been actively engaged in identifying ways to simplify and streamline the appeals process and has worked with stakeholders and focus groups to identify ways to better communicate information related to the appeals process with the beneficiaries we serve.”

And we can’t forget about Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Programs, which together covered 94 million enrollees as of April,

more than a quarter of the U.S. population. The federal government sets minimum standards that each state Medicaid program has to follow, but states can make things more complicated by requiring different appeal pathways for different types of health care. So the process can be different depending on the type of care that was denied, and that can vary state to state.

And don’t even get me started on how baffling it can be if you’re one of the 12.5 million people covered by both Medicare and Medicaid. As far as which appeals path you have to take, Abbi Coursolle, a senior attorney with the National Health Law Program, explains: “It’s

Medicare for some things and Medicaid for others.”

I sought help from Jack Dailey, a San Diego attorney and coordinator for the California Health Consumer Alliance, which works with legal-aid programs across the state. On a Zoom call, he looked at an Excel spreadsheet I’d put together for Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, based on what I had already learned. Then he shook his head. A few days later, he came back with a new guide, having pulled an all-nighter correcting what I had put together and adding tons of caveats.

It was seven singlespaced pages long. It detailed five layers of the Medi-Cal appeals process, with some cases winding up in state Superior Court. There were so many abbreviations and acronyms that I needed to create a glossary. (Who knew that DMC-ODS stands for Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System?) And this was for just one state!

Dr. Christianne Heck, a neurologist specializing in epilepsy with Keck Medicine of the University of Southern California, said her health system has a team of professionals dedicated to appealing denials and making prior-authorization requests — where you have to call the insurer and get approval for a procedure beforehand.

“It’s a huge problem,” Heck said. “It usually takes multiple attempts. We have to play this horrible, horrible game, and the patients are in the middle.”

It’s especially complicated in oncology, said Dr. Barbara McAneny, a former president of the American Medical Association who runs a 6,000-patient oncology practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“My practice is built on the theory that all the patients should have to do is show up and we should manage everything else … because people who are sick just cannot deal with insur-

ance companies. This is not possible,” she said.

McAneny told me she spends $350,000 a year on a designated team of denial fighters whose sole job is to request prior authorization for cancer care — an average 67 requests per day — and then appeal the denials.

For starters, she said bluntly, “we know everything is going to get denied.” It’s almost a given, she said, that the insurer will lose the first batch of records. “We often have to send records two or three times before they finally admit they actually received them. … They play all of these kinds of delaying games.”

McAneny thinks that for insurance companies, it’s really all about the money.

Her theory is that insurance companies save money by delaying spending as long as possible, especially if the patient or the doctor gives up on the appeal, or the patient’s condition rapidly declines in the absence of treatment.

For an insurance company, she said, “you know, death is cheaper than chemotherapy.”

I asked James Swann, a spokesperson for AHIP, the trade group formerly known as America’s Health Insurance Plans, what his organization thought of comments like that. He declined to address that directly, nor did he answer my question about why the industry has made appealing denials so complex. In a written statement Swann said that doctors and insurers “need to work together to deliver evidence-based care and avoid treatments that are inappropriate, unnecessary, and more costly. Most often, a claim that is not immediately approved just requires the provider to submit additional information to appropriately document the request, such as the diagnosis or other details. If a claim is not approved after correct and complete information is submitted, there are several levels of appeal available to the patient and their provider.”

Swann outlined some

of the appeals steps available, including a review by a doctor who wasn’t involved in denying the claim initially, the chance to submit additional clinical rationale and a review by an entity that’s independent of the insurer. He also noted that Medicare Advantage and Part D programs have multiple levels of appeals before winding up in court, including a step that requires a review by an outside, independent organization.

Domna Antoniadis is a health care attorney in New York who co-runs the Access to Care nonprofit, which educates patients and providers on their health insurance rights. She spent hours helping me navigate various appeal systems.

She offered up one important tip for people who use commercial insurance: Get the full plan document for your policy and read it. It’ll be around 100 pages and will tell you what medical services are covered and detail all the steps needed to appeal a denial. Don’t rely on the four-page summary, she said. It probably won’t help.

Likewise, Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid denial letters should explain the steps to appeal the decision.

When you can, enlist the help of your medical provider. Sometimes an insurer says no to a claim because a doctor’s office submitted it under the wrong code, and that can be fixed quickly.

Antoniadis acknowledged the challenges but believes that consumers have a lot more power than they realize. They can push back to advocate for themselves.

“The appeals process is not always handled properly by the plans, which is why consumers need to report and complain to their relevant government regulators when they believe they’ve been unfairly denied,” she said. “That’s integral to changing the system.”

I was going to comment on the Bernard Parks story of him using his city-issued retirement I.D. card to influence the prison sentence of his former rival Mark RidleyThomas. I was going to compare Parks to a new officer, just out of the academy, who gets his new badge and I.D. and runs straight to the local bar to show everyone, hoping to get lucky with a lady, or at minimum, a discount on drinks.

I had second thoughts about sharing my opinion.

I chose not to because David Quintero of Monrovia seems to have the weekly “Letter to the Editor” section locked down. I enjoy reading his opinions and takes on news items just like many others probably do. If the “Monrovia Weekly” is going to give him the section on a weekly basis, it should just give him a weekly column and let others share thoughts in the letters section.

Effective January 1, 2021, Assembly Bill (AB) 2151 requires cities to post any campaign statement, report, or other document required by the Political Reform Act to its city website within 72 hours of its filing.

Notice is given that by operation of law at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, on July 1, 2021, the Tax Collector declared the real properties listed below tax defaulted. The declaration of default was due to non-payment of the total amount due for the taxes, assessments, and other charges levied in tax year 2020-21 that were a lien on the listed real property. Non-residential commercial property and property upon which there is a recorded nuisance abatement lien shall be subject to the tax collector's power to sell after three years of defaulted taxes.

Therefore, if the 2020-21 taxes remain defaulted after June 30, 2024, the property will become subject to the tax collector's power to sell and eligible for sale at the County's online auction in 2025. All other property that has defaulted taxes after June 30, 2026, will become subject to the tax collector's power to sell and eligible for sale at the County's online auction in 2027. The list contains the name of the assessee and the total tax, which was due on June 30, 2021, for tax year 2020-21, opposite the parcel number.

LA City Council seeks monthly reports on revenue collected on Measure ULA

The Los Angeles City Council Wednesday approved a motion calling for monthly reports on revenues collected via Measure ULA, the so-called "mansion tax" that took effect in April and adds a 4% charge on all residential and commercial real estate sales in the city above $5 million and a 5.5% charge on sales above $10 million.

The council voted 12-0 to support the motion introduced by Councilman Bob Blumenfield in August, which also calls for updates on the enforcement of the tax.

Council members Kevin de León, Tim McOsker and

Monica Rodriguez were absent during the vote.

The motion instructs the city's Office of Finance to report on the Documentary Transfer Tax, which is imposed on all documents that convey property within the cities of Los Angeles County.

The county collects the DTT on behalf of the city at the time the document is recorded, and the tax is then remitted to the city and accounted for as part of general fund revenue.

In April, the DTT was revised due to the passage of Measure ULA, which was intended to provide ongoing revenue to address

homelessness.

For property sales above $100 but not exceeding $5 million, the DTT has remained at .45% of the property value, according to Blumenfield's motion. For sales above $5 million but below $10 million, the tax is 4.45%, and for sales of $10 million and above, the tax is 5.95%.

According to the councilman, the county is charged with collecting the new DTT, but the Office of Finance needs to ensure that the new tax rates are being enforced and the city is receiving the "accurate amount" of tax due.

"To mitigate any issues

with collection and remittance, especially in light of the Measure ULA update, the Office of Finance should provide background information on DTT, including the amount that has previously been collected, the type of transactions for which the tax is collected, and the accuracy of the county's collection and enforcement process," Blumenfield's motion reads.

The monthly reports will include the amount collected since the implementation of Measure ULA; the amount collected over the past three years; the amount collected from

commercial, residential and multifamily transfers; the amount collected through legal entity transfers versus deed transfers; methods employed to track

and collect when transfers occur; and estimates of funds that may not be collected in cases where transfers are difficult to track.

Santa Monica man to plead guilty in cryptocurrency scheme

By City News Service

ASanta Monica man has agreed to plead guilty to using his cryptocurrency cash exchange business to launder millions of dollars in criminal proceeds, officials announced Tuesday.

Charles Randol, 33, will plead guilty to failure to maintain an effective antimoney laundering program, a crime that carries a sentence of up to five years in federal prison, according to the U.S.

Attorney's Office. Both the charges and plea agreement were filed Tuesday in Los Angeles federal court. Randol is expected to formally plead guilty in the coming weeks.

From October 2017 to July 2021, Randol owned and operated a virtual currency money services business known as Digital Coin Strategies LLC. The company offered cryptocurrency cash exchange services for a

commission, according to his plea agreement.

Randol met anonymous customers in person to complete transactions, controlling and operating a network of automated kiosks in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties that converted cash to Bitcoin and vice versa, and conducted Bitcoin-for-cash transactions for unknown people who mailed large amounts of U.S. currency to him, includ-

ing to post office boxes that he controlled, court papers show.

Randol admitted in his plea agreement to repeatedly violating federal law and his company's own policies by facilitating suspicious currency exchange transactions and taking steps to conceal them from law enforcement.

For example, Randol frequently conducted in person cash transactions

that exceeded $10,000 with anonymous or pseudo-anonymous individuals, including people who Randol knew only by such monikers as Puppet Shariff, White Jetta, Yogurt Monster and Hood.

In his plea agreement, Randol admitted to engaging in specific transactions from October 2020 to January 2021 in which he exchanged a total of $273,940 in cash for Bitcoin without requesting a name, proof of identity, Social

Security number, or any other information about the buyer or the source of the funds being exchanged — violations of the Bank Secrecy Act. Randol also allowed criminals to structure and launder funds through his Bitcoin kiosks in malls, gas stations and convenience stores in Los Angeles, Glendale, Santa Clarita, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana and Riverside, prosecutors allege.

Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías arrested on domestic violence charges

By City News Service

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence.

The 27-year-old starter, who led the National League in wins in 2021 and earned run average in 2022, was arrested late Sunday and released early Monday on $50,000 bond. A court date has been set for Sept. 27.

This was his second arrest for domestic violence. Urías was suspended 20 games for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy in 2019.

"We are aware of an incident involving Julio Urías," the Dodgers posted Monday on X (formerly Twitter). "While we attempt to learn all the facts, he will not be traveling with the team. The organization has no further comment at this time."

He had been scheduled to take the mound on Thursday.

Details on what led to the arrest were not immediately available. The Los Angeles Police Department told City News Service that Urías was arrested by Expo-

sition Park police.

The area was heavily congested Sunday night due to the soccer match between the LAFC and Inter Miami at BMO Stadium, which featured Argentinian star Lionel Messi, who plays for the Miami club. The Los Angeles Times reported that Urías was among several celebrities who attended the contest. Fellow Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw also reportedly attended the match.

Urías -- on the cusp of free agency -- is 11-8 this season with a 4.60 earned-

Recycle Used Oil & Filters!

Do you change your car’s motor oil? Did you know that used motor oil and oil filters are recyclable? Used oil can be re-refined or processed into new motor oil. Currently only 46% of used motor oil is being recycled, which means 20 million gallons may be illegally entering California’s waterways via stormwater systems, posing a great risk to the environment. One gallon of used oil can contaminate a million gallons of drinking water; polluting our waterways and threatening fish and aquatic life. Prevent pollution; recycle used motor oil and filters!

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s lost will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. Copies of the lost will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administra-tion authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objec-tion to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on Nov. 3, 2023 at 8:30 AM in Dept. No. 11 located at 111 N. Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012.

In the event that the Deed of Trust described in this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is secured by real property containing one to four singlefamily residences, the following notices are provided pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code section 2924f. Notice to potential bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Bidders at the trustee auction must make cashier’s checks payable to WT Capital Lender Services.

party cashier’s checks will not be ac-

cepted. Notice to property owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 559-228-8393 or visit this internet website www.wtcap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-14024-128. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to tenant: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (559) 228-8393, or visit this internet website www.wtcap.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-14024-128 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a w1itten notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Affordable housing to transform formerly restricted South LA site

By City News Service

Developersbroke ground Friday on a project that will bring 122 affordable homes in South Los Angeles, in a plot of land once governed by a restrictive covenant that prohibited the sale or rental to Black or Asian people.

LA Mayor Karen Bass and Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson, who represents Council District 8 where the project is located, joined with community members and co-developers Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County and Abode Communities for Friday's celebration. The project, Manchester Urban Homes, will feature multifamily residential and townhome-style buildings.

The project, located at 8721 S. Broadway, is anticipated to be completed in early 2025, according to the developers.

"The Manchester Urban Homes groundbreaking is an example of how far we've come and how far we still must go to make sure every

Angeleno has a place to call home," Bass said in a statement. "It is another important step forward on our longstanding commitment to delivering more affordable housing."

Harris-Dawson added that it is "not every day that you get to right the wrongs of history with a shovel and patch of land, but watching Adobe and NHS put up affordable homes for the people of South L.A. on the site of a racist restrictive covenant is what justice in practice looks like."

The history of this project site sheds light on the "racist and exclusionary policies" that exacerbated the city's housing crisis, according to a statement from the developers.

Restrictive covenants were outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948 but were still widely and illegally used until the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

"The site is an incredible opportunity for restorative justice," Lori Gay, president

and CEO of NHSLA, said in a statement.

She called it an honor to "reclaim this land, where Black and Asian people were once excluded by force of law, to the community as housing available and accessible to everyone."

For nearly seven decades, the property operated as a community church run by Bishop Will T. Washington. In service to the community at large, Washington and his son, Pastor Thom Washington, developed the surrounding area with a barber shop, beauty salon and beauty supply stores, according to NHSLA.

The goal was to have an entire block filled with spaces that offered economic development opportunities for the community. Years later, however, after economic downturns resulted in foreclosures, NHSLA bought the land with the hope to continue that legacy through the affordable rental housing to families in South LA.

NHSLA said it sought

Abode Communities to assist in securing the remaining required construction and financing, as well as provide ongoing property management and resident services after the project is placed-inservice.

"We are excited to partner with NHSLA on this transformative residential community," Holly Benson, president and CEO of Abode Communities, said in a statement. "As a long-term owner and operator of affordable housing, we know that affordable housing invest-

ment in this neighborhood will serve as a catalyst for growth, economic, mobility and generational prosperity for decades to come."

Residents will benefit from onsite services that include financial counseling that aim to support them in achieving their personal goals, building generational wealth and retaining their house. The project will includes several amenities, including a green alley, community garden, central courtyard and playground, a lounge area with rooftop

Asecond former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has agreed to plead guilty to violating the civil rights of a man at a Compton skate park by improperly detaining him and then acting to cover up his actions, according to court papers filed Tuesday.

Miguel Angel Vega, 33, of Corona, admitted that he falsely imprisoned the 23-year-old skateboarder in his patrol car, which crashed during a subsequent chase, leaving the man injured, his plea agreement shows. He also admitted filing false reports to cover up his and his partner's unlawful conduct.

Vega agreed to plead guilty to one count of deprivation of rights under color of law, a crime that carries a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison. He is expected

to formally plead guilty to the charge in the coming weeks in downtown Los Angeles.

Vega's former partner, Christopher Blair Hernandez, 37, pleaded guilty in July to one count of conspiracy. A sentencing hearing is set for Jan. 8, at which time he will face up to five years in federal prison.

According to the April indictment, the man identified as J.A. was in an enclosed skate park at Wilson Park in Compton on April 13, 2020, when the deputies arrived and contacted two young Black males outside the park.

Prosecutors said Hernandez believed one of the males was on probation.

After J.A. yelled at the deputies to stop bothering the youths, Vega allegedly got into an argument with him and challenged J.A. to a

fight, prosecutors said. Vega then pulled J.A. through an opening in the park fence and placed him in the back of the deputies' patrol SUV, according to prosecutors.

The skateboarder was not handcuffed, was not told he was under arrest and was not restrained by a seat belt in the back seat of the SUV, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Prosecutors said Vega again challenged J.A. to a fight after the deputies had driven away from the park. Vega and Hernandez both "taunted" the man, suggesting they were going to set him up by dropping him off in gang territory, prosecutors said.

Vega also allegedly made comments saying the deputies were going to "fabricate and falsely allege that (J.A.) exhibited symptoms of being under

the influence of a stimulant as a pretext to justify their false imprisonment" of him, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

As Vega was driving the SUV with J.A. still in the back seat, he began pursuing a group of young males on bicycles, prosecutors said. Hernandez jumped out of the SUV to pursue one suspect on foot, while Vega drove into an alley, where he crashed into a wall and another vehicle, causing J.A. to hit his face and head and sustain a cut over his right eye, according to prosecutors.

After the crash, Vega allegedly took J.A. out of the patrol SUV and told him to leave, then reported over the sheriff's radio that a suspect with a gun had run through an alley, and he described the

deck, community room, bike safety and transit ridership programs.

The project received a local investment of up to $83.6 million, which includes a $7 million loan and a $2.3 million grant from the city of Los Angeles and Council District 8, respectively. Major funding came from the state's Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program and Infill Infrastructure grant program, as well as from financial support from Citi Community Capital and U.S. Bank.

suspect as wearing clothing similar to those worn by J.A. Neither Vega nor Hernandez initially disclosed that they had detained J.A. or that he was in the SUV when the crash occurred, prosecutors said.

J.A. was subsequently detained by another deputy nearby, and it was only then that Vega admitted to a supervisor that the man had been in the back of the SUV.

While J.A. was being treated at a hospital for his injuries, Hernandez allegedly told another deputy to cite him for being under the influence of methamphetamine, despite knowing it was a false accusation, prosecutors said.

In reports filed later that day, Hernandez and Vega "intentionally included false, misleading, and ambiguous information in the reports

to justify and legitimize, and ultimately cover up, their unlawful conduct," including that J.A. was under the influence of a stimulant and that he had threatened the deputies and other people at the skate park, prosecutors said.

Vega and Hernandez were also involved in the June 2020 killing of 18-yearold Andrés Guardado, who was shot five times in the back by Vega as the deputies pursued him in Gardena after he allegedly displayed a handgun, according to court records.

The shooting led to widespread protests, and a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Guardado's family against the county was settled last year for $8 million.

No criminal charges were filed in that case.

LA City Council backs move of therapeutic van program within Harbor Area

By City News Service

The Los Angeles City Council Wednesday approved the relocation of an alternative emergency-response program in the Harbor area to another dispatch center within the community, amid concerns about accessibility at the existing site.

The council approved the motion on a 12-to-0 vote. Council members Kevin De Leon, Tim McOsker and Monica Rodriguez were absent during the vote.

The motion instructs the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Department of General Services, in coordination with L.A. County's Department of Mental Health, to report on the feasibility of moving the Therapeutic Van Pilot Program from Fire Station 40 to another dispatch center in the Harbor Area. A list of potential LAFD

stations, both active and inactive, within Council District 15 will be provided to identify possible dispatch centers that can house the program, taking into account the proximity of major streets or freeways that would allow the program to dispatch responders more efficiently.

Councilman Tim McOsker introduced the motion in June.

The pilot program is a partnership between the county Department of Mental Health and the LAFD aimed at providing an alternative to response by armed police officers to certain emergency calls. The program utilizes the DMH therapeutic transport response in conjunction with LAFD's Tiered Dispatch System for calls involving patients experiencing mental health

crises.

The program began as a one-year pilot in January 2021, but the council recently amended the contract with the county to extend the program through June 30, 2024.

The program is available 24 hours a day and is deployed from LAFD stations covering downtown Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, Southwest Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.

The Southwest Los Angeles Therapeutic Van Pilot Program in the Harbor area is currently housed in Fire Station 40, located on Terminal Island in McOsker's 15th District. However, the location is not easily accessible, according to McOsker.

McOsker noted in his motion that the location will become "increasingly difficult for ingress and

ignition of vegetation on a branch, which fell to the ground and spread."

The wildfire started on Sept. 6, 2020, and ultimately destroyed 171 structures and 178 vehicles, damaged 47 structures, and resulted in the widespread evacuation of residences. It took weeks to put the fire out.

Nearly three years later, more than 100 miles of trails and numerous campgrounds remain closed to the public.

In 2021, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services announced the approval of more than $50,000 in reimbursements to help cover damages to Arcadia and Monrovia caused by the fire.

The funding helped cover the costs of engineering and constructing a parking lot at the entrance of Canyon Park in Monrovia, and the costs of labor and equipment to clear vegetative debris from Wilderness Park in Arcadia, according to a Cal OES statement.

egress" due to the future Vincent Thomas Bridge Deck Replacement Project.

The councilman said he wants to rehouse the program at a more suitable

dispatch center that will better serve the Harbor area and Southwest Los Angeles.
