Just a brief update on the Laguna Beach day labor center case…

Attorneys are due back in court on Nov. 16 for a hearing in city resident Eileen Garcia’s lawsuit against the city of Laguna Beach over its hiring center on Laguna Canyon Road.

The paper trail has begun. Attorneys submitted a list of facts related to the case to Judge Gregory Munoz this week. Next step: each attorney will submit an opening brief by October 19, and have a chance to respond until November 2.

The crux of the debate is over whether the city is allowed to operate a day labor hiring center where workers, regardless of legal status, can find day labor. Garcia says no; the city says yes. We’ll do our best to track the case here…
