ALLEGRETTI SUBMITS CERT. PETITION TO THE SUPREME COURT
I previously posted on the California Fourth District Court of Appeal's very troubling Allegretti decision. Essentially, the Court of Appeal approved the right of a County to confiscate a farm owner's established rights to use water necessary to irrigate his property without compensation. Unfortunately, the California Supreme Court did not grant review of the decision. Allegretti, represented by Michael Berger, has filed a Cert Petition with the United States Supreme Court. It is a very worthy cause (and very worthy brief) and I know Mr. Berger would appreciate the filing of an amicus brief urging the Court to take this issue by interested organizations.
