After the December Lifestyles was approved for publication, we learned that Judge Hopp continued (postponed) the hearing on our Petition for Writ of Mandate to Jan. 31, 2024, at 1:30 pm. Because of the continuance, we are waiting again for a decision, rather than discussing and strategizing after learning the outcome of our case. The continuance was not requested by any of the parties. The Court provided no reason for the continuance, and nothing should be read into his decision. This is not unusual in litigation. At this point, any delay is in our best interest, because it postpones the project and puts pressure on our opposition. Another continuance is always a possibility. Should ours be continued, we will update the Facebook group and the website. Facebook is Pass Area Action Group; our website is www. passactiongroup.org. You may also visit other Facebook groups associated with Sun Lakes. Here's a quick summary of the process going forward. Although the gallery is open to the public, the members of the gallery will not be allowed to speak and courtroom decorum would be expected to be respected and always followed. Members of the Pass Action Group Board of Directors plan to attend. 1. Administrative Record: The administrative record which was developed many months ago contains all the information related to the case. This was developed in a collaborative effort with our attorneys and the opposing attorneys. 2. Briefs: The briefs from both sides – an opening brief filed by P.A.G., a respondent's brief filed by our opposition, and a reply brief filed by P.A.G. - were submitted to the courts months ago as well. This is where both sides have the initial opportunity to express their interpretation of the case/administrative record. 3. Judicial Review: Prior to the hearing, Judge Hopp will have reviewed the Administrative Record and all of the briefs. It is expected that Judge Hopp will issue a tentative ruling just prior to the hearing. 4. Hearing: The hearing will consist of Judge Hopp questioning the attorneys using the Administrative Record and Briefs as the baseline. Unlike planning commission or city council meetings, no public comment is allowed. Our case is now in the hands of the attorneys as officers of the court. 5. Conclusion: After the hearing, Judge Hopp will issue a ruling. The ruling may be immediate or in the future. We simply do not know.
