Hot Creek appeal to be re-argued

The Town of Mammoth Lakes will have the opportunity to re-argue its appeal of the Hot Creek litigation case to the State Appellate Court on Dec. 20, according to press release from Stuart Brown. The chance to re- argue has come about because one of the justices who heard the original appeal in October is retiring.

Original arguments were heard on Oct. 18 and left the Town concerned that the outcome may not go in its favor. The re-hearing will allow the Town to address some issues raised in October.

After the case is re-argued, the Court will have another 90 days to issue it’s decision on the $30 million case. -TOML/LAK
