Join Braun v. Norton as a Plaintiff Today!
On 11/16/05

Oscar Braun <oscar@oscarknows.com> wrote: Frank,

Thanks for your quick response to the email alert we received from Ted Krzywicki and many other Pleasure Cove Marina neighbors notifying us that they had received a new  threatening letter this week  from BORever's Pete Lucero asserting that all of us have to be out of PCM by December 15, 2005.   Andy and I agree with your observations:

"In addition, since BOR is intent on implementing its adverse removal actions against individual selected long-term permittees despite the pending litigation it may be necessary to add the individual names of all permittees seeking protection against BOR's announced action as additional plaintiffs in the pending federal litigation."

I will put out a request this evening in the Pebble that "any" current Pleasure Cove Marina mobile home owner wanting to be "added" to the pending Braun v. Norton et al as a plaintiff of record to notify  you Frank by Sunday November 20, 2005 either by email or telephone that they would like to join the Brauns in their complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief Case No. CO5-03777 MJJ, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco.   Andy and I encourage all our PCM neighbors to join us immediately.

Regards,  Oscar & Andy Braun

Subject: Braun v. Norton et al (BOR)

Oscar,

The following is a summary of the current status of  the complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief filed on September 19, 2005 in Braun v. Norton et al (BOR), Case No. C05-03777 MJJ,  U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco.  The case has been assigned to Hon. Martin J. Jenkins, U.S. District Court Judge.  The court has scheduled a case management conference on February 7, 2006.

Subsequent to the service of summons on defendants, BOR has been engaged in providing inconsistent notifications to long-term permittees at Pleasure Cove regarding the implementation of previously announced actions to cease use (by November 1, 2005) and the removal of mobilehomes and personal property (by December 15, 2005) from the federal estate.  (BOR's most recent reminder letters are dated September 7 and November 9, 2005).  BOR has been involved in questionable bureaucratic conduct by providing inconsistent information to selected permittees without providing uniform notification to all Pleasure Cove permittees, all with the knowledge that BOR's action plan cannot be implemented without following required procedures and legal processes.  

Based on BOR's continuing  bad faith conduct in threatening adverse actions against Pleasure Cove long-term permittees in the face of the pending federal litigation requesting the court to rule on the legality of BOR's actions, plaintiffs' intend to seek a court order enjoining BOR's activities in order to maintain the status quo during the pending litigation.  In addition, since BOR is intent on implementing its adverse removal actions against individual selected long-term permittees despite the pending litigation it may be necessary to add the individual names of all permittees seeking protection against BOR's announced action as additional plaintiffs in the pending federal litigation. 

The present situation has been exacerbated by BOR's attempt to confuse legal issues by its rush to publish the 2005 EIS VSP issued on November 4, 2005.  Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.  Best regards.

Frank A. Iwama

Letter to the Editor Reply: “Revenge of the Trailers”
By Oscar A. Braun, San Mateo County, 650-726-3307
Tuesday, November 15, 2005

I have got to admit that nobody can even come close to spewing out totally unintelligible environmental babble and vintage BORever propaganda like Napa Sierra Club President and attorney Carol Kunze.  Carol appears to be completely captivated with her new and very politically corrupt bed fellows’ BOR Commissioner John Keyes and Forever Resort billionaire Rex Maughan’s vision for Lake Berryessa.  This intellectually bankrupt trio would have the uninformed public believe that “TRAILERS” can destroy Lake Berryessa’s future.  So here is my response as a good neighbor: “Trailers won’t destroy Berryessa’s future”. It’s the greedy billionaire, corrupt BOR bureaucrats/commissioner and whacko Sierra Club members like Kunze that will destroy Berryessa future!

Poor Ms. Kunze Op/Ed letter laments, “Unfortunately, the private site tenants (the Braun family) are doing everything they can to harass the new concessionaire (BORever Resorts) into leaving -- filing multiple complaints based on conditions that existed before they arrived, refusing to sign the site permit agreement, withholding rent, and now suing to avoid having to leave at the end of this year as they are required.”  My God, she sees right though us!  This crazed loose cannon named Oscar Braun and his California Watershed Posse are mounted up and leading the charge against the poor helpless BORever Mob.  They’re on their way to Winters Town Hall Meeting, and then on to Federal Court, Federal Court, Federal Court.  These evil Trailer’s say the FEIS is Dead On Arrival (DOA) and they will destroy the BORever FEIS Record of Decision (ROD).

Come see “Revenge of the Berryessa Trailers” this Saturday Nov. 19th at the Winters High School Gym Town Hall meeting at 1pm located at 101 Grant Avenue.  Be there!
