[CIMC-work] LA DNC Lawsuit won! -yours truly is a class member

[Garth Liebhaber]

Hey y'all,
Just wanted to let you know that the class action lawsuit against the 
city of LA for their riots four years ago at the DNC was won.  Having 
been one of the injured I signed onto it, forgot about it several 
times, but here the city has settled.  If I get myself a moment I'll 
post an article on the newswire.

>     The City of Los Angeles has approved settlement of our case for 
$1.2 
>million dollars today.  This is a tremendous victory which lets 
police

in the

We

settlement, 
>including a proposal for formal notice to you class members and 
plaintiffs. 
>  Once the court approves the notice we will send it to you.  The 
notice

will be

to the 
>settlement if you are so inclined.

the time

date,

>plaintiffs join with me for a press conference in front of Parker 
Center.
