The City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles are appealing an important decision to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and IMLA will be filing an amicus brief in support of both. We need your help in providing information that we believe will help our argument. The issue involves a decision by a federal judge to mandate a solution to one of local government's more complex problems while seeming to ignore the many other problems local governments are forced to solve. This intrusion on executive and legislative authority violates the separation of powers and extrapolated throughout the country would lead to government by the judiciary often subjecting local governments to competing judicial mandates.
