Stanford wins drug-death suit

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

Stanford has prevailed in a lawsuit from the parents of a student who overdosed on fentanyl in a fraternity house.

The parents alleged that Stanford had a culture of drug use and didn’t pass on warnings from the

Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office about counterfeit pills. Specifically, the warnings were for blue pills stamped with “M30” like the one that killed Eitan Michael Weiner, 19, of Los Altos, at the

Theta Delta Chi fraternity house in January 2020. Judge Shella Deen ruled in Stanford’s favor, finding that it’s unrealistic for the university to protect Weiner against his own personal

drug use just because he was doing drugs on campus.

Weiner “was not engaged in an activity that was part of the university’s curriculum or closely related to the university’s delivery of educational services,” Deen said in her decision on May 23. Weiner’s

TRUMP BUYS TIME: Israel and Iran exchanged more attacks yesterday as President Trump said he would make up his mind within two weeks on whether the U.S. military will get directly involved in the conflict, seeking to keep open the door to diplomacy on Tehran’s nuclear program. Trump has been weighing whether to attack Iran by striking its well-defended Fordo uranium enrichment facility with bunker-buster bombs.

Locally owned, independent

Shikada pleads his case

BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer

A state commission was sympathetic yesterday to Palo Alto City Manager Ed Shikada having to leave discussions about Stanford because his wife works for Stanford Health Care, but any changes to his situation are unlikely.

“This issue does have a significant impact on my ability to perform duties,”

Shikada told the Fair Political Practices Commission in Sacramento yesterday.

Shikada recently married a director in orthopedic clinical operations at Stanford Health Care.

About anti-conflict law affecting his job

She works in clinics in Livermore, Pleasanton, Los Gatos and Redwood City, Shikada said.

Shikada told commissioners that city decisions involving Stanford are regular, on issues such as housing and firefighters. Decisions on the medical side rarely come up for the city, he said.

Stanford’s role

But commissioners agreed with their attorneys who said Stanford and Stanford Health Care should be treated as one entity, because the university board has the power

to add and remove members of the Stanford Health Care board.

That means Shikada has to leave the room for any time Stanford comes up for Palo Alto City Council, or he would violate conflict-of-interest rules in the California Political Reform Act.

Commissioners said Stanford can change its bylaws so the university no longer has the power to remove health care board members, and that would make them separate entities.

But Shikada said Stanford probably won’t change its bylaws for him.

“Quite frankly, it is tremendously uncomfortable and somewhat

Wayne Pepple

August 5, 1928 ~ April 30, 2025

Loren ‘Wayne’ Pepple, 96, passed away on April 30th, 2025, at Gordon Manor, Redwood City, CA.

Wayne was preceded in death by his brothers, Clarence and Robert, an infant sister, half-brother Clarence, and his parents, Ivan and Elsie (Overbey) Pepple. He is survived by his wife of 76 years, Margaret (Harville) and their children, Merriam Hanley (Robert) of Tehachapi, CA, Monica Pepple of Bloomington, IL, and Loren Pepple II of Odin, IL.

Wayne was born August 5, 1928, on a farm near Belle Rive, IL. In his early years, he attended a nearby oneroom school house like the one where his mother taught. After high school, Wayne attended Southern Illinois University where he met his future wife, Margaret. They farmed in rural Illinois for a few years, after which Wayne joined the Marine Corps. During that time, they lived in California and North Carolina before returning to Illinois. Wayne returned to school and obtained a degree in civil engineering from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. After graduation in 1961, Wayne and Margaret moved to Palo Alto, CA. Wayne had a long and successful career that spanned more than 30 years with the Illinois Central Railroad, Pacific Fruit Express, and Southern Pacific Railroad as a civil engineer, working his way up to Director of Hazardous Materials with Southern Pacific. He was honored by the Association of American Railroads as a member and vice chairman of the Bureau of Explosives Steering Committee for his service which enhanced the safe transportation of hazardous materials in North America. After retiring in 1990, Wayne and Margaret enjoyed splitting their time between Palo Alto, CA and Odin, IL where Margaret grew up.

Family was very important to Wayne. No matter where he went, he was always on the look-out for anyone who was related to him. Job number 1 to him was taking care of his wife and children. Everything he did, he did for them. Church was always an important part of his life and he was a long-time member of Palo Alto First Christian Church and Odin Christian Church.

Wayne will be remembered for his devotion to his family and his generosity to others. To honor his memory, the family suggests donations to a church or charity of your choice.  A memorial service will be held Sunday, June 22, 2025, 1:00pm, at Palo Alto First Christian Church, 2890 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.

CLEANING WASTEWATER

Palo Alto’s wastewater treatment plant mimics the process of creeks and streams by giving microorganisms oxygen so they’ll consume human waste. The facility seen here will be decommissioned in 2029 in favor of a new process that takes out nitrogen from the wastewater, Assistant Director of Public Works Karin North said on a tour yesterday. The plant treats sewage from Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto, East Palo Alto and Stanford. Post photo by Braden Cartwright.

Restaurant owner sues Corpus

BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer

The co-owner of a vegetarian restaurant in Belmont, who was arrested for trespassing at a hotel in Menlo Park, is suing San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus.

Rawan Zantout, 34, was arrested by Menlo Park police on April 30 at Rosewood Sand Hill Resort at 2825 Sand Hill Road for refusing to leave, according to police spokeswoman Nicole Acker.

Zantout filed a lawsuit on May 13 in San Mateo County Superi-

or Court without a lawyer, representing herself, without explaining why she’s suing Corpus. In her lawsuit, she says she has dealt with medical expenses, emotional distress and trauma and is asking for compensation in return.

Zantout declined to answer the Post’s questions about the lawsuit.

County not named Her lawsuit doesn’t name the county government, which is standard procedure for people suing over the actions of deputies, but

instead just names Corpus as an individual.

The first hearing in the suit is on Oct. 15 at 9 a.m.

Public records show that Zantout is a partner in Falafelle, a restaurant at 1035 Ralston Ave. in Belmont.

Corpus, who has been sheriff since 2021, faces several lawsuits from current and former employees who allege retaliation and intimidation. The Board of Supervisors has started the process to fire Corpus.

Suspects sought in stabbing case

Mountain View police officers are looking for suspects in a stabbing outside 7-Eleven on Rengstorff Avenue.

The stabbing happened on Sunday just after midnight, police spokeswoman Monica Leon said.

Officers responded to calls for an injured person and arrived to find two men, one who had stab wounds, Leon said. The victim was taken to the hospital with moderate injuries, Leon said.

The relationship between the victim and any suspects is still under investigation, and police aren’t releasing more information at this time, Leon said.

The 7-Eleven is near the intersection with El Camino Real and Maldonado’s Pizza at 615 S. Rengstorff Ave.

“At this time, the suspects are outstanding, and we do not have them identified,” Leon said in an email.

Fake veteran confesses

A Mountain View man has confessed to faking military service for years to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits from his former employer, federal prosecutors said.

Omar Naziry, 40, pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud. He admitted to orchestrating a years-long scheme in which he falsely claimed to be deployed with the U.S. military to collect military differential pay from Lockheed Martin.

Federal prosecutors said that the company maintained a post-9/11 policy of supplementing the pay of employees who took military leave, ensuring they

suffered no loss of income due to deployment. The program aimed to support service members among its workforce and had since been expanded to cover all forms of military duty.

Naziry admitted to submitting fake military orders and earnings statements beginning in August 2016 and falsely claimed in 2017 that his “deployment” had been extended four more years.

Florida arrest

When agents went to arrest Naziry at his parent’s home in Florida, they found him hiding in an air vent after two hours of searching, prosecutors said.

70K seek ‘Trump Card’

Nearly 70,000 foreigners have signed up for a new U.S. residency program called the “Trump Card,” which requires a $5 million investment to gain legal residency.

8 weeks - $240 • Starts June 23

The program is headed by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who says the card will be made of gold. “It will be beautiful,” he told the Financial Times. “Donald Trump appreciates these kinds of things. He cares about how it looks. He cares about how it feels. I mean, he deeply cares about that,

raids

and thinks if you’re going to buy and make this investment in America, we should give you something that is beautiful.”

$350 billion boost

If all 70,000 applications are approved, and the applicants pay the $5 million, it will result in a $350 billion boost to the treasury.

The proposal originated from billionaire and Trump donor John Paulson. Lutnick claims the Trump Card is aimed at attracting

business leaders and organizations who want to secure U.S. residency for themselves or employees.

The program is also being promoted as a revenue-generating initiative to reduce the $36 trillion debt.

Currently, the EB-5 visa program allows foreign nationals to obtain permanent residency through investments of up to $1.8 million. About 14,000 EB-5 visas were issued last year, according to Invest In the USA.

bring fear, uncertainty

Farmers, cattle ranchers and hotel and restaurant managers breathed a sigh of relief last week when President Trump ordered a pause to immigration raids that were disrupting those industries and scaring foreign-born workers off the job.

“There was finally a sense of calm,’’ said Rebecca Shi, CEO of the American Business Immigration Coalition.

That respite didn’t last long.

On Wednesday, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin declared, “There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine (immigration enforcement) efforts. Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts.’’

The flipflop baffled businesses

trying to figure out the government’s actual policy, and Shi says now “there’s fear and worry once more.”

One ICE raid left a New Mexico dairy with just 20 workers, down from 55. In some places, the problem isn’t ICE but rumors of ICE. At cherry-harvesting time in Washington state, one operation that usually employs 150 pickers is down to 20.

Widows slam CTE study

Dozens of widows and other caregivers for former NFL players diagnosed with CTE say a published study is insulting and dismissive of their experience living with the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions and other repeated head trauma common in contact sports like football.

An open letter signed by the players’ wives, siblings and children says the study published in the May 6 issue of Frontiers in

Psychology suggests their struggles caring for loved ones was due to “media hype” about chronic traumatic encephalopathy, rather than the disease itself. The implication that “caregiver concerns are ‘inevitable’ due to ‘publicity’ is callous, patronizing and offensive,” they said.

‘Insulting conclusions’

The letter was posted online under the headline, “NFL Caregivers to Harvard Football Player Health

Study: Stop Insulting Us!” It had more than 30 signatures.

The letter says the study gets it wrong by including what it considers unsupported speculation, such as: “Despite being an autopsy-based diagnosis, mainstream media presentations and high-profile cases related to those diagnosed postmortem with CTE may have raised concerns among living players about CTE.”

The letter said these are “insulting conclusions.”

HIV shot gets OK

The U.S. has approved the world’s only twice-a-year shot to prevent HIV, the first step in an anticipated global rollout that could protect millions.

While a vaccine to prevent HIV still is needed, some experts say the shot made by Gilead Sciences — a drug called lenacapavir — could be the next best thing. It nearly eliminated new infections in two groundbreaking studies of people at high risk, better than daily preventive pills they can forget to take.

“This really has the possibility of ending HIV transmission,” said Greg

Millett, public policy director at amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.

Long-lasting protection

Condoms help guard against HIV infection if used properly but what’s called PrEP — regularly using preventive medicines — is increasingly important. Lenacapavir’s six-month protection makes it the longest-lasting type, an option that could attract people wary of more frequent doctor visits or stigma from daily pills.

“There are kids who’ve been hurt by weapons like missiles and bombs! When I found out they’re the same age as me or younger, I was so sad. They’re coming to America to get better from their injuries. Many of them are leaving their hometown for the first time, but for the wrong reasons. I wanted to make them feel welcome and let them know they’re not alone. I organized volunteer sessions to make care packages (handmade bracelets, necklaces, origami, and some treats).”, said the teen. She’s grateful to her scout masters, scout volunteers, friends, and family for helping her make the care packages. “If this brings a little joy and hope to the kids, given what they’re going through, I’d say I’ve done my job.”, Subadhra said.

Entertainment ‘Bride Hard’ is easy to break up with

BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer

Take your average wedding flick, shotgun a hostage situation into it and add some anarchic energy from Rebel Wilson and you get “Bride Hard,” which is a movie, for better or for worse. In this case, much, much worse.

“Bride Hard” — which combines thrusting male strippers dressed as Vikings as well as deadly automatic weapon fire — isn’t funny or thrilling. It has the kind of lazy pacing you’d usually find on the Hallmark Channel and a level of acting not much better than porn.

Director Simon West, whose action movie credits include “Con Air” and “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” seems to be making a parody until he’s not. The whole thing stinks of an ’80s low-budget movie that you might find, back in the day, rummaging through a discount bin at Blockbuster.

Secret agent

Wilson stars as Sam, a secret government “Mission Impossible”-type agent who is a loose cannon, lethal with an elbow and as creative as MacGyver, but poor at managing her personal life.

“I will give you all of your flowers on the job, but in your real life, you’re

kind of dumb,” says her agent friend, played by Sherry Cola, who like everyone here, has been shorn of saying anything amusing. Even the blooper reel at the end of the movie is underwhelming.

We start when Sam is reunited with her childhood best friend, bride-to-be Betsy — Wilson’s “Pitch Perfect” costar Anna Camp — for a bachelorette party in Paris, which goes disastrously bad since Sam is also hunting for a bioweapon at the time.

The action then shifts to a mansion on a private island in Savannah, Ga., the site of a lavish wedding and lots of daytime drinking. That is, until heavily

armed goons arrive to steal a pallet of gold bars. (Gold bars, like it’s a Looney Tunes cartoon.) It’s up to Sam to save the day and prove she’s a good friend.

Cringe-worthy scenes

Screenwriters Cece Pleasants and Shaina Steinberg seem to be mocking spy thrillers and wedding movies alike until they also kind of stop. There’s lots of real blood, fiery explosions, impalings and electrocutions, along with irritable bowel syndrome jokes and plenty of kicks to the groin.

Sample dialogue: “Oh, Sam, you’re alone,” the mother of the bride says

Play Your Part for Youth Mental Health

Children’s Health Council (CHC) has been leading the way in youth mental health in the Bay Area since 1953. Our SteelMike 3V3 Basketball Shootout raises critical funds to expand access to care—helping us raise awareness, reduce stigma, provide direct services, offer financial assistance, and share free mental health resources with families in need.

as she approaches Sam. “Well, no. I have my emotional support boobs,” Sam responds. There’s also needless scene-explaining, like one bad guy yelling, “She’s using the chocolate fountains as cover!” Yeah, we see that.

Have the screenwriters been reading the room? Not clear. “If anybody ever mentions that I’m a secret agent, we will rendition you to one of our many unnamed bases,” warns Sam, as her spy colleague does a throat-slitting gesture. Rendition jokes are really so funny this summer.

The movie co-stars Stephen Dorff as the main bad guy, Justin Hartley as eye candy with a secret, Anna Chlumsky as a high-strung maid of honor and Da’Vine Joy Randolph as an edgy, sassy bridesmaid. They all need to break up with their agents. (So does whoever did the stunts — the body doubles are embarrassing.)

If you do decide to pony up real cash to see this historic misfire in the movie theaters instead of waiting until you can hate-watch it for free on a streaming service, we have a word of advice: Bring your emotional support boobs.

Release info

“Bride Hard,” a Magenta Light Studios release in theaters today, is rated R for “sexual references and some violence.” Running time: 105 minutes.

Tom Cruise finally getting 1st Oscar

Thirty-five years after Tom Cruise received his first Oscar nomination, he’s finally getting a trophy. It’s not for his death-defying stunts, either. At least, not exclusively.

Cruise, choreographer Debbie Allen and “Do The Right Thing” production designer Wynn Thomas have all been selected to receive honorary Oscar statuettes at the annual Governors Awards, the film academy said. Dolly Parton will also be recognized with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her decades-long charitable work in literacy and education.

“This year’s Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals

whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact,” Academy President Janet Yang said.

Prior nominations

Most recipients of the prize historically have not yet won a competitive Oscar themselves. Cruise, 62, has been nominated four times, twice for best actor in “Born on the Fourth of July” and “Jerry Maguire,” once for supporting actor in “Magnolia” and once for best picture with “Top Gun: Maverick.” He’s also championed theatrical moviegoing and big-scale Hollywood production through the pandemic.

Savor a Taste of Greece in Los Altos

Escape to Greece this summer with an evening at Barbayani Taverna, where you can enjoy authentic dishes and warm hospitality in a beautiful Aegean atmosphere.

From the beautiful bougainvillea-accented patio to the elegant dining room, the restaurant brings a bit of the Mediterranean to Main St. Since its debut in late 2023, the restaurant from co-owners Dino Tekdemir and Allen Isik (who is also executive chef) has become one of downtown Los Altos’ most popular establishments, especially during First Fridays, the Thursday evening farmers market and summer festivals. The restaurant’s name comes from a Greek folk character, Barba Yani – Uncle John – a cheerful black-bearded innkeeper who cooks for family and friends.

The menu celebrates the bounty of traditional Greek cuisine using fresh high-quality ingredients. Lamb meatballs are enlivened with mint and citrus pepper compote, while their chicken souvlaki shines with the holy trinity of Greek flavor: olive oil, lemon and oregano.

Everything is cooked fresh, from the pita breads to their baklava. Tekdemir says one of their most popular dishes is their mesquite rib-cut lamb chops, but if you have time, one of the dishes he recommends most highly is the whole branzino, which is completely covered in a shell of salt before it’s baked, keeping the fish delectably juicy. It takes 45 minutes to prepare before it’s delivered, still fully encased in the salt dome that is then broken for you at the table.

While offering something for every taste, the wine list spotlights a substantial number of Greek vintages you don’t often see.

“Crisp, light and aromatic, Greek wines are very drinkable with meals in warm climates,” Tekdemir notes. Cocktail lovers will appreciate their sophisticated take on the classics, as

well as some playful twists like Zeus blood, a margarita enhanced with house-made hibiscus agave syrup, or Barba’s Pistachio Whisky Sour. The restaurant is the perfect setting for social or business events, from a cocktail reception to an elegant formal dinner – or both. Their semiprivate mezzanine level seats up to 20 guests, their outdoor patio hosts up to 40, and their spacious private room (which includes a stage) accommodates up to 100. They also offer an unforgettable private catering experience, where their chefs, servers and bartenders can come to your location, preparing delicious fare and taking care of your every need while you enjoy the festivities.

For more information or to make a reservation, go to barbayanitaverna.com or call (650) 405-6087. Reservations are strongly recommended. To arrange a private event or inquire about catering, contact private dining manager Robert Miguel at robertm@ barbayanitaverna.com.

New HAIM album rocks

BY MARK KENNEDY Associated Press Writer

HAIM has declared this season to be “single-girl summer” and offered us the soundtrack. Heartsick never sounded so good.

“I Quit,” the fourth full-length album from the trio, is a breakup collection that never gets too weepy. You can dance to a lot of it. Even the song “Cry,” which name-checks the seven stages of grief, is an upbeat bop.

Six years after the trio released their jazzy, Lou Reed-y single “Summer Girl,” the mood has

NEW ALBUM — The cover for ‘I Quit’ by HAIM. Columbia Records.

somewhat soured this summer. Across 15 tracks, the songs are about fresh splits, old wounds and newfound independence.

Sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim found themselves all single for the first time in a long time while making the album, looking back with equal parts venom and guilt.

“The Farm” has a rootsy twang, “Down to be Wrong” has a Sheryl Crow vibe and “Take Me Back” has a Go-Go’s feel.

The album closer, “Now It’s Time,” interpolates U2’s industrial-pop song “Numb,” ending with an exhilarating jam session. “It’s time/To let go,” says the lyrics. Not to this album.

Made From SCRATCH

SUIT ––––––

parents are Stanford employees: Amir Weiner is an associate history professor, and Julia Erwin-Weiner is an associate vice president for medical center development. Their daughter Ya’El Weiner graduated from Stanford in spring 2019.

Weiner asked his childhood friend Matthew Carpenter to order pills from the dark web to the TDX house, according to text messages filed in court.

A janitor found Weiner dead in the bathroom with a crushed up pill by his side on Jan. 17, 2020.

Fraternity banned

The university started sending out repeated warnings about fentanyl, updated its drug policy and banned TDX from campus.

Carpenter admitted to ordering the pills in December 2020 and was sentenced to two years of probation and 300 hours of community service.

The Weiners sued Stanford, TDX, Carpenter and three of Weiner’s roommates in December 2021.

Number of defendants reduced Carpenter settled the lawsuit with the Weiners before a trial set to begin on July 7, court records show. The terms of the settlement aren’t public.

Deen has dismissed the case against TDX and two of the roommates — Cole Weston Dill-DeSa, William Corbitt Mitchell — while Muhammad “MoMo” Khattak is the last remaining defendant in the case.

Khattak is being sued under the Drug Dealer Liability Act, which allows the Weiners to get money from someone “who sold, administered or furnished an illegal controlled substance.”

Khattak “was the informal mail delivery person for TDX and knew when the package arrived earlier that day; he delivered it to Weiner’s room,” attorney Erin Dolly wrote in a report for Stanford.

SHERIFF ---–

San Mateo. “We are preparing for the upcoming events that are coming in our region next year, which unfortunately increases vulnerabilities to sex and labor trafficking and other forms of exploitation,” Bell said in an email to the Post.

Bell said the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Super Bowl are events that will require more attention to human trafficking. She said their goal is to create a prevention and enforcement program that will continue beyond the events.

The program will be coordinating with other agencies and nonprofit organizations, according to Bell.

Office in RWC police station

Bell said Monaghan will report to her and work out of an interview room in the Redwood City Police Station.

Bell did not answer further questions from the Post.

Corpus fired Monaghan on Sept. 20 after he told her he was interviewed by retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, who was investigating HR complaints in the Sheriff’s Office.

Cordell’s investigation was commissioned by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. The investigation found Corpus and her chief of staff,

Victor Aenlle, intimidated and retaliated against employees, had conflicts of interest and engaged in other forms of misconduct. Both have denied the allegations.

San Mateo County Executive Mike Callagy stopped Corpus’s attempt to fire Monaghan because, in his opinion, it could be seen as retaliation or an attempt to interfere with the investigation, according to records obtained by the Post.

Monaghan was hired by Corpus in January 2023 after she took office. He remained a county employee but had not been working until now.

Firing process begins

In March, Monaghan filed a $5 million claim alleging retaliation. Aenlle confronted Monaghan about cooperating with Cordell.

Supervisors started the process to terminate Corpus, which could take four to six months. Corpus was also expected to testify at the county’s civil grand jury, which has the power to remove an elected official, as part of an investigation it is conducting, according to court documents filed by Corpus’ attorneys.

Chiang believes the money should be spent on science teachers, world language teachers and employees who help at-risk students — “really anyone who works directly with children, frees up home teacher prep time, provides a well-rounded education,” he said in an email yesterday.

Chiang, who was on the board from 2012 to 2015 and from 2020 to 2024, said principals and their employees used to communicate with parents more directly.

Coordinating messaging

That changed when Superintendent Ayinde Rudolph was hired in July 2015, and communications were consolidated from school sites to the district office, Chiang said.

The uniform approach takes time away from principals because they have to coordinate their messaging now, Chiang said.

“We do not need more communication staff at the district office,” Chiang said in an email yesterday.

The communications specialist would be responsible for monitoring social media “for addressable and controversial postings,” the job listing said.

The specialist would also edit videos, take pictures and make infographics, the job listing said.

The specialist will “interface with school sites to ensure a strong and consistent district message,” the job posting said.

Catherine Baur at $408,525, Chief Business Officer Rebecca Westover at $389,793, and Chief Human Relations Officer Tara Vikjord at $349,249, pay records show.

Rudolph resigned on Nov. 1 after announcing the state was auditing the district for potential fraud.

Hausman is out of the office until Monday and couldn’t be reached for comment yesterday.

SHIKADA ----

embarrassing just the fact that I brought this topic forward,” Shikada said. “The only person that is more uncomfortable (is) my wife.”

Shikada’s attorney Gary Winuk argued that Stanford Health Care has its own operations, finances and employees.

Wunik said it’s a stretch to imagine that Stanford would take action against a Stanford Health Care board member that would somehow impact Shikada’s wife.

“We’re starting to get very tangential here with how far we’re extending these material financial interests in this case,” Winuk said.

FPPC General Counsel Dave Bainbridge said he would come back with an opinion for commissioners to approve that says the determining factor is if Stanford can remove Stanford Health Care board members.

The FPPC opinion would apply to all nonprofits that are related to each other, not just Stanford.

“If they’re never going to accept this, then your wife may need to move somewhere else,” Commissioner Alf Brandt said.

Appeals court allows Trump keep control of National Guard

An appeals court yesterday allowed President Trump to keep control of National Guard troops he deployed to Los Angeles following protests over immigration raids.

The decision halts a ruling from a lower district court judge who found Trump acted illegally when he activated the soldiers over opposition from Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The deployment was the first by a president of a state National Guard without the governor’s permission since 1965.

Within the president’s authority

In its decision, a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded it was likely Trump lawfully exercised his

authority in federalizing control of the guard.

It said that while presidents don’t have unfettered power to seize control of a state’s guard, the Trump administration had presented enough evidence to show it had a defensible rationale for doing so, citing violent acts by protesters.

“The undisputed facts demonstrate that before the deployment of the National Guard, protesters ‘pinned down’ several federal officers and threw ‘concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects’ at the officers. Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van’s windows,” the court wrote.

“The federal government’s interest in preventing incidents like these is significant.”

Governor’s power limited

It also found that even if the federal government failed to notify the governor of California before federalizing the National Guard as required by law, Newsom had no power to veto the president’s order.The California governor’s office and the White House didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

The court case could have wider implications on the president’s power to deploy soldiers within the United States after Trump directed immigration officials to prioritize deportations from other Democratic-run cities.
