Today’s win is official! Here is the DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman’s Judgment transcript (37 pages PDF) and one-page Preliminary Injunction Order received from our talented DC pro bono trial attorney Paul Zukerberg. Anyone can show this to anyone with a bullldozer on our Plaza in Adams Morgan! 🙂 This PI means it will not be razed while the court reviews our case in full to establish the public easement going forward, which the judge ordered will be on an accelerated timeframe through this fall—we’ll get to hear the real story from all those who were party to the Plaza’s creation & related experts!
Looks like we’ll have a clear decision, which could potentially establish the easement in perpetuity by spring! For this next phase of the trial, our attorney, Paul Zukerberg, has let us know that realistically costs for expert witnesses, visual exhibits, court clerk, and video deposition costs could run to $10K.
So so many people have given of their time, care, expertise, resources, official capacity, influence, fresh produce, and funds! THANK YOU ALL!!
