crowd of roughly 50 residents and activists gathered in Fontana Saturday evening, Jan. 10, for a candlelight vigil protesting the killing of 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good, the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. actions

abroad. Organizers called on federal and local leaders to stop what they described as unlawful violations of the Constitution and international law.

according to Reuters. Speakers at the vigil described Maduro’s capture and the killing of Good as part of an escalation of state violence.

The vigil comes one week after Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro was captured and brought back to the United States to face charges of narco-terrorism, cocaine trafficking and weapons charges,

The Trump administration has defended the actions of ICE and Jonathan Ross, whom protesters blame for Good’s death, as lawful. While difficult to sue those with Rally cont. on next pg.

lejandro Gutierrez Chavez opened a San Bernardino County town hall on the creative economy with a challenge: treat arts and culture as essential infrastructure — and match celebration with responsibility. “As artists, culture bearers, educators, and community partners that are here today, we have a shared responsibility not to acknowledge it, but to work for accountability and support Indigenous sovereignty

and uplifting Native voices, artists and culture bearers,” said Gutierrez Chavez, executive director of Arts Connection, the Arts Council of San Bernardino County. The “Creative Economies in Action: Statewide Engagement Tour” stop was held Wednesday, Jan. 7, at the West End Educational Service Center in Rancho Cucamonga, bringing together the California Arts Council and California for the Arts with local partners including Arts Connection, the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and the Inland

Empire Community Foundation. Gutierrez Chavez told the room that creativity is not confined to galleries or stages in the Inland Empire, but shows up “in the classrooms, our neighborhoods, our public spaces like parks, trails, bus benches, and small businesses,” woven into how the region understands itself. At the same time, he described the daily strain he sees among artists and cultural workers who keep creating while working long hours in an economy shaped by logistics and warehousing.

affordability and livability.

- qualified immunity, some lawyers and legal experts refute the White House’s position and have sought to bring Ross to justice.

- “I work with artists and culture barriers every day and I see them juggling multiple jobs, working from nine to five, working late nights, whether it’s in the most dominant industries such as the warehouse industry, logistics industries,” he said. “And they still make time for their creative careers because they know the value that their work has for our communities.”

Ratzkin summarized six overarching goals the plan organizes its strategies around: preparing and supporting the workforce; stabilizing and growing creative economy businesses; increasing statewide revenue through cultural identity and tourism; leveraging state opportunities for local cultural and creative development; defining and tracking ROI — which she said includes “return on investment,” “return on imagination,” and “return on innovation”; and developing capacity and infrastructure at both the state and local levels.

In Fontana, as wind gusts in excess of 30 mph rushed through the region, protesters assembled with signs and banners outside the City Hall entrance, chanting slogans and listening to speakers who criticized the human cost of Trump’s foreign and domestic policies. Organizers framed the vigil as an act of solidarity with civilians affected by federal escalation and as a warning against what they view as unchecked authoritarian and executive power. Protesters alleged that Fontana Mayor Acquanetta Warren supports ICE activity in the city and the Trump administration’s actions more broadly. At the time of publication, Mayor Warren has not responded to a request for comment. Joz Sida, a longtime Fontana resident currently campaigning for mayor, helped organize the demonstration. During an interview, she said she wanted to give space for the community to exercise their rights, adding that many in Fontana have been physically, morally and emotionally injured by ICE. “This vigil was to honor those who have passed, like Renee Good, and all those who have died in the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and all those who have been separated from their families and deported to third world countries that they're not even part of,” Sida said. She also emphasized the harm the current political animus will have on children. “The other day, I went to give out gifts to children that were impacted by ICE and a little girl told me . . . ‘I didn't think Santa Claus was going to find me,’” Sida said. “We're forgetting that these moments that we're living in, these children are going to internalize this forever . . . because they are treated as less than human.” Attendees said the demonstration was motivated by growing concern over ICE brutality and U.S. military actions that they argue lack congressional authorization and international legitimacy. Several speakers referenced the broader U.S. history of militarized force imposed on civilians at home and abroad, emphasizing civilian casualties, displacement and long-term instability. Luz Perez, a resident running for Fontana city council, attended the vigil and spoke to IECN about the chaos and betrayal she says many Latinos in the Inland Empire feel every day as ICE and the administration’s foreign policy moves contradict Trump’s campaign promises. “I've spoken to a lot of Latinos here in Fontana, as you know, we're a majority Latino city, and a lot of them also have voted for Trump,” Perez said. “And they have shared a lot of anger and disappointment and betrayal, because our communities are under attack. Trump promised that there wasn't going to be war with him, but now we have bombed Venezuela at the very beginning of the year.” When asked about the gravity of Good’s loss, Perez commented on the tragedy, emphasizing that she sees it as a vital form of political reorientation. “I hope it’s a pivotal moment,” Perez said. “I hope that people can recognize that it can happen to anyone.”

From there, state leaders positioned the gathering as part of a broader push to convert that local reality into statewide policy and investment — with a plan they said is meant to drive concrete outcomes, not sit on a shelf. Rebecca Ratzkin, equity measures and evaluation manager at the California Arts Council, told attendees the strategic plan was not optional. “So doing this plan actually wasn’t a choice,” Ratzkin said. “It was legislatively mandated.” Ratzkin said lawmakers funded the California Arts Council to assemble a Creative Economy workgroup “made up of experts from across different sectors of the creative economies and across the entire state,” and required the agency to produce a strategic plan based on that cross-sector work. She laid out the plan’s goals as a mix of economic development and equity commitments: “To attract Creative Economy business, retain talent within the state,” she said, adding, “So attraction, retention, growth.” The plan also focuses on “sustaining, developing marketable content that can be exported for national and international consumption,” which she described as a strategy “to actually generate revenue.” Ratzkin added that the plan is also designed to ensure participation and benefits extend to communities historically left out of state investment. The goals include “to make sure that we’re reaching marginalized communities, that we’re living up to our race, equity promise as a state, and to incorporate the diversity of the multiple perspectives of communities across the state.” Ratzkin described the plan’s development as a phased process. Phase one, she said, built the framework — including establishing the workgroup and partnering with Institute for the Future, a nonprofit consultant, to guide the work through a “foresight, insight and action” methodology. She said background research and statewide listening fed into workgroup meetings in 2024, and that the state moved into generating and consolidating action ideas in 2025 — ultimately submitting the report with the governor’s approval in summer 2025. The plan’s “North Star,” Ratzkin said, is to “lead an inclusive and resilient creative economy that empowers artists, cultural workers and entrepreneurs to drive culture, creativity and innovation.” She said the plan treats the creative economy as an ecosystem — the people who create, the institutions that support them, and the places where culture is produced and experienced. She also highlighted five “future forces” shaping that ecosystem: mental health and belonging; access to capital and risk taking; technology and tradition; climate impacts; and

As she connected the framework to San Bernardino County, Ratzkin pointed to recent funding that flowed into the region through state programs administered locally. “Arts Connection was one of the creative core administering organizations,” she said, adding that through that program “they were able to… put in over $4 million in the creative sector here between 2022 and 2024.” She said the town hall series is part of phase two — an engagement push meant to capture what communities say is missing and what they need to implement the plan. Phase three, she said, is expected to focus on implementation and evaluation, aligned with the state’s fiscal calendar. The statewide effort arrives with an explicit economic framing from state officials: the California Arts Council has said the plan is designed to strengthen California’s $288 billion creative sectors and support more than 820,000 creative workers statewide. For local institutions, speakers said that statewide framing matches what they see when arts funding reaches the Inland Empire. Manny Saucedo, director of development and strategic relations at KVCR, said his station has already seen what targeted investment can do for local hiring and local storytelling. “A couple years ago, we actually got some funding from the Arts Council… And through that work, we were able to hire a number of different artists and creatives,” Saucedo said. He pointed to a recent example of local talent rising through that support: “We ended up hiring a TV producer who won an Emmy Award for The Warehouse Empire.” Saucedo said investment matters not only for cultural output, but for whether creative workers can build stable lives in the Inland Empire. Saucedo said the investment helps diversify the region’s economy and create local jobs for creative workers. “It’s kind of a spur of the economy, but also to give a different economy or region of folks that can find some work and really stay here locally,” he said. “Instead of them going to LA or San Francisco, they can stay here locally and make a living.” That retention argument was echoed in the education sector, where county leaders described arts programming as both student development and workforce preparation. Norm Nunez, community relations manager for the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, said County Superintendent Ted Alejandre “is very, very supportive of the arts programs,” de-

scribing arts education as something that develops students “from pre-K through high school” and helps prepare them for college. Nunez described countywide arts pathways including Poetry Out Loud, visual arts competitions, and honor band and honor orchestra programs that draw students from districts across the county. He said those ensembles span elementary through high school and culminate in an annual performance at the University of Redlands. Nunez said the county’s size makes arts investment a regional concern. “Being the largest county, San Bernardino County, we want to have that involvement and be at the table and look at what’s the vision for the next generations,” he said, adding that the county serves about 400,000 students across 33 school districts. He also addressed a recurring public criticism — the idea that arts investment competes with more urgent needs — describing arts participation as essential support for students. “The emotional support that it gives students, the freedom that it gives them to think and use their imagination… mental health is important to our students,” Nunez said. “So I think there’s a place and on an equal balance with the other things that they’re doing. No difference than somebody playing sports.” Terry Ball, senior programs manager for California for the Arts, said California’s arts funding is often treated as optional — even as the state brands itself as a creative powerhouse — and she argued that mindset keeps the arts from being recognized as both an economic driver and a practical tool for addressing other challenges. Ball said she wants the arts to stop being viewed as “something peripheral” and instead be treated like other workforce and economic development priorities. “We hope that the arts are seen as a solution because the arts can help with a lot of the other problems,” she said, citing social issues, criminal justice challenges and health problems. Ball said California’s funding for the California Arts Council is about $24 million — “ridiculous” for a state its size — and she argued that the state still isn’t investing even “a dollar” per resident. She said California’s arts funding ranks behind a long list of states, including Florida. “As a state, we rank below Alabama and Florida and Texas and a very large number of states in our arts funding,” she said. Ball cited what she described as a California study on the economic ripple effects of performing arts employment. “For every hundred dollars invested in arts workers in a community, it pays out at least $115,” she said. Recent national data illustrates the gap Ball described. In the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies’ FY2025 table of per-capita legislative appropriations, California is listed at $0.82 per person, compared with $1.31 in Florida. The highest per-capita figure is Hawai‘i at $11.10, and Minnesota is listed at $10.07. For Gutierrez Chavez, the case for San Bernardino County was both personal and structural: a region with deep creative roots that needs sustained investment to make creative careers livable.

Governor Newsom’s $349B Budget Builds Reserves, Boosts Schools as Inland Empire Leaders Split on Housing

ov. Gavin Newsom on Jan. 9 released a proposed $348.9 billion California budget for 2026-27 that his administration “says” closes a $2.9 billion shortfall with stronger-than-expected revenues while rebuilding reserves for an uncertain economy and shifting federal policy. The spending plan would leave California with $23 billion in total reserves, including $14.4 billion in the Rainy Day Fund, and includes a $3 billion deposit into that account. The proposal also seeks $1.55 billion in state operations reductions and continued savings from eliminating about 6,000 long-vacant positions. The Legislative Analyst’s Office said the proposal is “roughly balanced” in the near term, but warned the stock market poses serious revenue risk and that both the administration and the LAO project large multiyear deficits. Education is the budget’s biggest emphasis. Newsom’s administration cites record per-pupil funding of $27,418 and proposes continuing universal transitional kindergarten for more than 400,000 four-yearolds, a $1 billion expansion of community schools, and continued support for before, after- and summer-school programming. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond praised those invest-

ments while arguing the plan still does not go far enough to lift student performance statewide. “I am heartened to see that the Governor’s proposed budget includes many important investments in TK-12 education that I have championed, including $1 billion to sustain and expand Community Schools and $4.7 billion in ongoing support of before, during, and after-school programming through the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program,” Thurmond said. “While the education funding in this budget proposal represents record per-pupil spending, I believe that this proposal falls short of funding levels and meaningful reforms needed to truly accelerate student achievement.” Thurmond also raised concerns about a governance proposal the administration describes as moving the California Department of Education under the Executive Branch. “I am interested in reviewing the language of the Governor’s proposal on education governance reform, on which neither I nor CDE was consulted,” he said. Housing and homelessness, persistent crises for Inland Empire communities, drew criticism that the proposal does not add major new money. The governor’s office highlights continued Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention funding, including $500 million planned for 202627 with new accountability requirements.

Assemblymember Dr. Corey A. Jackson, a Moreno Valley Democrat, said the proposal does not meet the moment for families struggling with basic needs. “While I am continuing to review the details of the Governor’s proposed budget, I am disappointed that it does not go far enough to meet the basic needs of Californians,” Jackson said. “At a time when families are struggling, we must be more aggressive in addressing food insecurity, getting unhoused residents into stable housing, and significantly increasing the supply of affordable housing.” The League of California Cities, which represents municipal governments statewide, said the budget fails to include new direct investments in key city priorities and would move backward on homelessness support. “This budget falls short on that vision,” said Executive Director and CEO Carolyn Coleman. “That’s why cutting the vital Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention grant funding by half its historic funding levels is a step backwards.” On climate and clean transportation, legislative budget documents say the administration proposes a $2.1 billion Proposition 4 expenditure plan for 202627, including major allocations for water resilience and wildfire and forest resilience. The plan also includes $200 million in one-time special funds to establish a new light-duty zero-emission vehicle in-

centive program. Sen. Eloise Gómez Reyes, a Colton Democrat and chair of the Senate budget subcommittee that oversees resources, environmental protection and energy, said she will evaluate whether those investments translate into improvements for overburdened regions. “So, I’m pleased that the Governor’s proposal identifies investments from the recently approved water bond (Prop 4), a new funding plan for the now extended Cap and Invest Program, and funding to ensure California remains a leader in the development and deployment of electric vehicles.” Newsom’s administration also placed federal policy at the center of its budget risk analysis, saying recently signed changes to federal health and human services programs would add $1.4 billion in costs to California, including $1.1 billion tied to Medi-Cal and nearly $300 million tied to CalFresh. Assemblymember James C. Ramos, a San Bernardino Democrat, echoed the governor’s warnings about federal instability while praising the reserve strategy. “We live in volatile, even hazardous times – like walking a high wire on a windy day – and Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed 2026-27 budget is his vision of how to balance fiscal uncertainty while attempting to ensure that needy children and families receive the services they need,” Ramos said.

As Third Spaces Disappear, East Valley YMCA Opens Doors Wider With Waived Joining Fees Marking 175th Anniversary By Manny Sandoval

I

n a time when fewer places exist to gather outside of home and work, leaders at YMCA of the East Valley say their branches in Redlands, Highland and San Bernardino are doubling down on what has long set the organization apart: a community “third space” where people of all ages can show up, find support and build routines that strengthen families. The effort comes with a limited-time membership promotion tied to the YMCA’s 175th anniversary — a deal leaders say is meant to lower the barrier for anyone who has been curious but hesitant to walk through the doors. “I feel one of the biggest things that is universal between all the branches right now is our 175th year anniversary, so we’re going huge,” said Lindsay Cobaugh, executive director of the Redlands YMCA. “So until the end of January, it’s zero joining fees. Plus it’s only $17.50 for your first month. And that doesn’t matter what level of membership you’re at. So whether you're an adult, a senior, or a whole family, $17.50 is what you pay for the first month.”

At the Highland YMCA, Executive Director Marvin Hernandez described the branch as intentionally structured around belonging — a space where members can connect even if fitness is not their primary reason for walking in. “We have something for everybody,” Hernandez said. “It’s not just a normal gymnasium where people come in, work out and leave.” Hernandez pointed to a seating area near the entrance as part of that approach — a place designed to make conversations easy and help members feel seen. “It’s a matter of family,” he said. “Everybody that comes in here is considered family.” He highlighted Highland’s aquatics schedule — including Power Plunge, water walking, open swim and lessons — and a partnership with the Highland Senior Center that brings participants to the YMCA for low-impact water aerobics Monday through Thursday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The arrangement allows senior center participants to access the class through a contract partnership, Hernandez said, while others can participate through membership or a guest pass.

Highland Senior Center participants take part in a water aerobics class at the Highland YMCA, where low-impact pool workouts are part of a broader aquatics schedule that also includes Power Plunge, water walking, swimming lessons and open swim for members and families.

Highland’s most visible community gathering, Hernandez said, is the 43rd annual Highland Run, scheduled for Jan. 25 with an 8 a.m. start. The event includes 5K and 10K options, with a chip-timed option for participants who want an official time. Last year’s event drew nearly 450 participants, Hernandez said, and proceeds support the

YMCA’s scholarship and financial assistance programs. “All proceeds go back to our scholarship program and financial assistance program,” Hernandez said. The route begins and ends at Arroyo Verde Elementary School in East Highlands, looping through neighborhood streets in what Hernandez described as a scenic, rain-or-shine run. Registration costs vary, he said, generally ranging from $20 to $36, with shirts available for those who register early.

Cobaugh also emphasized a Safety Around Water initiative that, she said, has been in place since 2017 and brings every second grader from all 16 elementary schools in Redlands Unified into a program focused on lifesaving skills and confidence in the water. “We teach them life saving skills,” Cobaugh said. “Because we know one of the leading causes of death in children is accidental drowning. And there’s so many bodies of water around here that we wanted to make sure to be a part of the solution.”

Hernandez also said the Highland branch is launching a free workshop on January 15th at 6 PM focused on building healthier eating habits — an effort he framed as meeting local needs through practical, home-based guidance.

She described lessons designed to reduce panic and teach basic survival responses, such as floating on the back and moving toward the pool wall, while also noting parent-and-me swim lessons are available for children as young as six months.

“It’s just creating balanced meals, practicing moderation, building small habits,” Hernandez said, describing the workshop as open to members and nonmembers.

Fitness programming at Redlands, Cobaugh said, is robust — more than 120 classes each week — including yoga, Pilates, boxing, Zumba and dance options, alongside offerings geared toward older adults, including Silver Sneakers and chair-based classes.

From Highland, the East Valley YMCA’s reach extends to Redlands, where Cobaugh said the Y’s value is often clearest in traditions that have become part of the city’s identity — none bigger than its circus program, which is currently deep in preparations for performances planned for the first three weekends of May. “One of the most unique things is our circus,” Cobaugh said, describing a show that runs about three hours and includes more than 300 performers and hundreds of volunteers. The program is powered largely by volunteers, Cobaugh said, with a circus director and a small number of paid staff supporting the production. “The circus is all generational,” Cobaugh said. “There have been performers who are in their 80s. … But they started when they were young and then their kids were in it. Their kids’ kids were in it. And it’s just like a big family.” Cobaugh said the circus traces back to the 1920s and has continued for decades as a communitydriven effort. Acts range widely, from aerial performances and ground routines to clown acts, balloon art and diabolo. Beyond the circus, Cobaugh highlighted Redlands’ historic building — a long-standing presence in the city — and a mix of programs that serve multiple age groups. She pointed to the indoor track as one of the facility’s signature features, noting it is original to the building and draws members who come specifically to walk or run. “We also do kids programs up there, run clubs, those kinds of things,” she said, describing the track as a space where “it’s really all ages.”

In San Bernardino, Executive Director Jennifer Lopez said the branch’s early-year focus includes programming meant to bring parents, caregivers and young children into an environment that feels supportive — not intimidating. “We have our partnership with the Mom Walk of San Bernardino where we host parent and me days,” Lopez said. The event includes a parent-and-me water class held on the pool deck, which Lopez said is free for participants already involved with the Mom Walk group, along with a parent-and-me stretch yoga class and sensory activities designed to keep families moving through multiple stations. “We run the class from six months up to three-years old,” Lopez said of the water offering. “So it’s really that intro intimate moment where you as a parent can have those first exposures to a body of water with your baby.” Lopez described the Mom Walk group as a community-wide network that hosts walks across the Inland Empire — including stops in Rialto, Redlands, Highland and Fontana — and said the partnership is part of an effort to bring that energy “back to the heart of San Bernardino.” “It’s a safe space for first time moms, moms in general, to feel open to share … experiences,” Lopez said. “It’s a huge camaraderie.” She also stressed the programming is meant for any primary caretaker, including grandparents and fathers, not only mothers.

Ella Film Fest Best Picture “Seen” Confronts Sexual Assault by a Partner and Aftermath By Manny Sandoval

W

hen filmmaker Martina Monti first wrote “Seen” in a UCLA class, she wasn’t chasing a trend or a tidy “issue film.” She was trying to put language — and images — to something many survivors carry for years, often in silence. “It’s a personal story, and it happened to myself,” said Monti, who wrote the script, produced the short film and plays its lead. “Years later, I wanted to make a film about it … with the purpose both to, of course, tell my own story … and at the same time, to tell stories that can be similar to other stories of other people.” The short won Best Picture at the inaugural Ella Film Festival, a women-centered festival that debuted Dec. 19 at KVCR Public Media in San Bernardino and sold out in advance. Monti, who is from Monza, Italy, said she has lived in the United States for six years and is currently based in Los Angeles. Monti said her goal with “Seen” was to represent “other women” by confronting sexual assault — including the kind that is harder to name publicly and harder to prosecute: assault by an intimate partner. PHOTO ELLA FILM FEST

Olivia Martini (left), director of “Seen,” and Martina Monti, the film’s writer-producer and lead actress, pose on the red carpet at the soldout inaugural Ella Film Festival.

“It not only talks about sexual assault, but sexual assault by an intimate partner,” Monti said. “It’s more common for women

to experience violence from people they already know … instead of from strangers in the street, you know, and some people forget that.” Monti described that dynamic as both personal and structural: when the perpetrator is a partner, she said, victims often fear they won’t be believed and that the abuser can “flip the situation.” “If someone attacks you in the street, it’s kind of easier to call the police and people are going to believe you,” Monti said. “But when it’s your partner, it makes it harder for the victim to speak up, to be believed.” Olivia Martini, the film’s director, producer and editor, said she connected to Monti’s script immediately — in part because it echoed her own experience. Martini, who is from Santa Monica and attends UC San Diego, said she and Monti met at UCLA. “I first heard this story pitched in class by Martina,” Martini said. “I was just really blown away by her bravery because it was a story so similar to mine.” Martini said one reason “Seen” felt distinct was its insistence on focusing on what follows the assault — the part that doesn’t fit neatly into a single scene or a single night. “This dealt with the aftermath of what happens after as well, too,” Martini said. “So many

people just focus on the event and they don’t focus on what happens after, which can continue on for years.” Martini said that for survivors, that “after” can be relentless and unpredictable. “I still struggle with nightmares and all this kind of stuff,” she said, adding that the film aims to be “accurate … real while playing [out a] story of sexual assault and what happens after it and how you can deal with it.” Monti said she built the main character as a teenager — shy, isolated and new to her environment — to show how vulnerability can be cultivated, not accidental. She described the male classmate who targets her as patient and strategic, waiting until trust is established. “When trust happens, that’s when you’re more vulnerable,” Monti said. “The idea is also manipulation.” In the film, Monti said, the assault is not framed as a spontaneous act but as something planned — including a detail meant to signal intent. “He offers her alcohol,” Monti said. “It’s not something that he had the idea of at that moment. I wanted to emphasize that … he was planning that.” Read the IECN.com.

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. 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 2924g of the Section 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 or (888) 9023989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-17772-CA. about Information 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 Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANTS: 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 or (888) 902-3989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-17772-CA 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 written 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.
