Hearing on a motion for a new trial was held this morning against Public Defender Luke Brownfield and former Public Defender Marek Reavis. This is the lawsuit filed by former Deputy Public Defender Rory Kalin. Co-defendant Judge Gregory Kreis settled. I reported on the motion for new trial on January 29, 2024 and did other recent posts with court documents on the motion for new trial that detail the arguments by both sides.
Mendocino Judge Ann Moorman denied the motion for new trial because the plaintiff, Kalin, did not present "sufficient evidence to grant a new trial."
The denial doesn't mean this is over. I am pretty sure Kalin can appeal. That was confirmed by lawyers who have experience winning major civil cases all over California and are also familiar with Humboldt Superior Court.
Kalin's lawyers are busy with other cases but I reached out to them. Mr. Johnny Rundell who is a partner at Hershey Law got back to me the morning of 2/27. " We intend to file an appeal on Mr. Kalin's behalf."
