Attorney Andrew Whitman of Ojai filed this brief to Judge William F. Highberger, who is the Los Angeles County Superior Court judge in the city of Ventura water adjudication lawsuit:
Cross-complainant city of Ventura is hammering forward, attempting to obtain a “physical solution” that will impact thousands and thousands of water users and landowners in northern Ventura County. A physical solution is clearly premature at this stage of the litigation. The cross-defendants have not had the opportunity to obtain evidence or establish, where appropriate, that they are not proper cross-defendants.
