Gerald McGuire case against County dismissed, another rare win and again only because of Deputy County Counsel Thomas Chapin

 

(Chapin)

Failed candidate for First District Supervisor Gerald McGuire has lost his lawsuit !against County of Humboldt. The case has been dismissed and restraining order by McGuire has been denied.

McGuire represented himself after he told Judge Timothy Canning in April that he did not want Michael Acosta as his attorney. His request was moot because Acosta had already been suspended by the California State Bar in April due to his conviction and is ineligible to practice in California.

In December 2023, Judge Canning granted a TRO against County Code Enforcement Unit until judicial review of McGuire's coastal development permit.

A 6/26 writ of mandate hearing and oral argument was continued by stipulation to 7/1 because no court reporter was available and proceedings were being electronically recorded. 

The County usually loses or settles but this is another win for the County only due to Mr. Chapin. Type in his name on the search feature on my blog for other cases.
