On April 21st 2006 a
Law Suit was raised by the San
Rafael Airport owner Joe Shekou against one of the most outspoken
opponents of development of a Soccer Complex on his airport.
The suit insinuated that the land on which his boat dock was built
was owned by him.
Defendant lives on Vendola Drive next to Gallinas Creek. The suit
threatened 50 other residents with the same suit.
It's possible that the center of the creek was at one time east of the
defendant's boat dock but river erosion has moved it westward and
subsequently the boat dock was built on that location it appears. This has yet
to be established but that is Shekou's case.
He's demanding dismantling of the docks for various irrelevant reasons. (See
the suit in conjunction with
California SLAPP law). A map
accompanies this suit but you need to go get it out of the county files.
Here is another map tho.
What is clearly happening is that he is retaliating
against opponents of his proposed development in a blatantly illegal attempt
to silence him AND their 50 neighbors. This is
known as SLAPP and defined in California Code of Civil Procedure
CCP Section 425.16 (Search all
documents on the
State's
website (check "All") search for "425" or go
here for a copy. )
A possible Motion
to Strike is available on a fast track procedure against SLAPP and has
been prepared by yours truly. This motion can be filed any time before June
20th.
