Eaton Fire survivors demand housing funds from SoCal Edison

Feds arrest 4 in connection with New Year's Eve bomb plot

By Joe Taglieri

urvivors of the deadly Eaton Fire and local officials on Tuesday called on Southern California Edison to pay for rental housing as many displaced Altadena residents struggle with disaster recovery. A coalition of fire survivors, activists, elected officials and area residents gathered nearly a year after the January wildfire to warn that recovery has stalled because families are struggling to stay housed. According to the Eaton Fire Survivors Network, Edison bears financial responsibility because the utility's equipment sparked the blaze. According to research by the fire-survivor advocacy nonprofit Department of Angels, 8 in 10 families affected by the Eaton Fire remain displaced with most running out of housing funds. In addition to the Eaton Fire Survivors Network, the coalition includes the Eaton Fire Collaborative Leadership Council, the Clergy Community Coalition and the Altadena Town Council, along with support from the California Community Foundation. The groups represent more than 10,000 survivors, over 200 nonprofit organizations, more than 150 faith leaders and the 40,000 residents of Altadena, where the fire did the most damage. “We are not here in anger. We are here in love for our community,” EFSN Executive Director Joy Chen said in a statement. “When

a company's fire destroys or contaminates homes, that company has a responsibility to keep families housed until they can get back home.” The survivors group is asking Edison to immediately provide temporary housing support against obligations it already owes, describing the situation as a cash-flow problem — Edison has millions in liquid cash and taxpayer-funded

protections, while options for displaced residents are dwindling. Families say they have received no housing assistance from Edison, according to the EFSN. “Every other California investor-owned utility advanced emergency housing relief after causing a wildfire, even without these protections,” Chen said. “Through the Wildfire Fund, stateSee Fire survivors Page 31

approved rate hikes, and nearly one billion dollars in back pay, Californians have absorbed Edison's wildfire risk. Edison is reporting sharply higher profits, while survivors — who are also ratepayers — are bearing the cost of this fire in real time.” SCE spokesman David Eisenhauer defended the utility's efforts to help with recovery from the wildfire. "We are fully committed to helping the Altadena community recover," Eisenhauer said. "We understand people and businesses impacted by the Eaton Fire are eager to move forward and SCE’s Wildfire Recovery Compensation Program offers a way to help them do that — with fair resolutions and fast payments. Funds in SCE's WRCP can be used for interim housing. We encourage people to apply and see their offers. In moments like this, Edison’s role is clear: Help people recover and move forward. That’s what our neighbors expect." Citing a Los Angeles Times investigation, the EFSN noted that the utility has been allowed to shift the full cost of settlements above the Wildfire Fund onto ratepayers. State law gives Edison control over what it pays survivors and ensures the company has the financial support to do that without delay, group members said. Nothing in that system prevents Edison from advancing housing support now.

ederal authorities have foiled an alleged New Year's Eve bomb plot in Southern California following the arrests of four people in San Bernardino County, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday. The defendants were arrested Friday in Lucerne Valley and were allegedly connected with Turtle Island Liberation Front, an offshoot of a pro-Palestinian group, DOJ officials said. The four suspects were identified as Audrey Carroll, 30, of South Los Angeles; Zachary Aaron Page, 32, of Torrance; Dante Gaffield, 24, of South LA; and Tina Lai, 41, of Glendale. Each are charged in Los Angeles federal court with conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device. The four were expected to appear before a magistrate judge Monday afternoon in downtown LA. FBI officials said a fifth person believed to be connected to the same group was arrested in New Orleans for allegedly planning a separate attack. The California suspects were arrested Friday in the Mojave Desert as they unloaded bomb-making materials from their cars. They allegedly were preparing to construct and test explosives intended for attacks throughout the region at logistics businesses, according to the DOJ. Officials said Carroll developed a detailed plan See Bomb plot Page 02

last month to bomb at least five locations across Southern California on New Year's Eve. “The Turtle Island Liberation Front — a far-left, proPalestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist group — was preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in California beginning on New Year’s Eve. The group also planned to target ICE agents and vehicles,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. “This was an incredible effort by our U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace. We will continue to pursue these terror groups and bring them to justice.” Prosecutors allege the plot included planting backpacks filled with explosive devices at multiple businesses that were set to blow up simultaneously at midnight on New Year's Eve. The group also allegedly planned to target U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and vehicles with pipe bombs in January or February, said Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California. "Carroll stated that some of those plans would quote 'take some of them out and scare the rest,'" Essayli told reporters Monday. Essayli also said the suspects were arrested in the desert near Twentynine Palms before they were able

to finish making an actual explosive. Court documents include photos showing a campsite with what prosecutors say were bombmaking materials placed on folding tables. Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles bureau, said group members "were determined to detonate

explosives at multiple businesses" at the same time at midnight on New Year's Eve. "The subjects arrested envisioned planting backpacks with improvised explosive devices to be detonated at multiple locations in Southern California targeting U.S. companies," he said Monday. Search warrants resulted

in the discovery of posters for the Turtle Island Liberation Front at Carroll's home that said "Death to America," and "Death to ICE," according to Essayli. A copy of the detailed bomb plan was found in Page's home, officials alleged. "The successful disruption of this plot is a powerful testament to the strength of

our unified response," Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell said. If convicted, the defendants would face a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison on the conspiracy count and up to 10 years on the unregistered destructive device allegation, according to the DOJ.

UCLA report: Streaming programs show lack of diversity on and behind camera By City News Service

T

he top television series available on major streaming services in 2024 continued to display a lack of diversity in both the gender and ethnicity of creators and performers, according to a UCLA report released Tuesday. The UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report on streaming television, prepared by the university's Entertainment and Media Research Initiative, examined the top 250 television series -both comedies and dramas -- available for streaming during 2024. The shows included newly created programs and older shows still available for viewing in streaming service libraries. Of the programs that had a clearly defined show creator, 79% had creators who were white men. Nearly 92% of show creators were white, with 3.3% Black, 2.5% Asian and 1.1% Latinx, according to the report. Men represented 85% of all show creators. "The gender gap for white show creators remained staggering," according to the report. "White men, alone, represented nearly eight out of 10 (78.9%) of all show creators among the mostwatched, scripted television shows in streaming in 2024. While their numbers were much smaller overall, Black and Latinx males outpaced their female counterparts as scripted show creators as well. Although the number of multiracial women

exceeded their male counterparts, this group's overall count was minimal. Among Asian and Native scripted show creators, there were no female show creators among the top scripted shows." When considering only current programs -- not older series still available on streaming services -- the diversity numbers "remained dismal," according to the report. Of the 109 current scripted shows, only 17 had a creator who was a person of color, or 15.6%, while 27 had a female creator, 24.8%. The numbers were equally poor among lead performers in streaming series. "Among the mostwatched streaming comedies and dramas in 2024, virtually four-fifths of lead actors were white (79.6%)," the report found. "Black (8.3%), Latinx (3.3%), Asian (2.2%), and multiracial (5.5%) persons were all underrepresented among streaming leads of top streaming comedies and dramas in 2024." Just over one-third (34.3%) of lead characters in the top series were female in 2024, down from 39% the previous year, according to the report. Historically underrepresented communities also got little recognition in storylines in the programs analyzed overall. "Out of the top 250 streaming shows in 2024, about two-fifths or 39.2% featured one or more of

these underrepresented stories," according to the report. "When only considering scripted shows, the percentage jumps to 43.7% and when only considering live-action comedies and dramas, the percentage increases to 52.5%." The report's authors concluded that following progress over the past decade in efforts to increase representation of woman and people of color both on screen and behind the camera, "there appears to be a scaling back of these efforts throughout Hollywood in 2024." "Rolling back on diversity on screen is a clear risk," according to the report. "Studios may think they can take these groups for granted. However, those under 18 years old are already majority-BIPOC (Black, Indigenous People of Color) and will soon grow into the target demographic for ad- supported programming. They are part of younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and they do not consume media and entertainment the same way as older generations. It would appear vital for streamers producing traditional format TV programs to appeal to future potential subscribers with stories that they may find relatable and appealing. Studios and networks can do this by investing in creatives from diverse backgrounds and producing their stories."

The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (SBMWD) celebrated its 120th anniversary with a dedication of its new Tertiary Treatment System (TTS) at its water reclamation plant on Chandler Place. The TTS can treat and reuse up to 2.5 million gallons per day of recycled water. When the Department was established in 1905, SBMWD’s service area was about one square mile with a population of about 6,000. Today it’s about 50 square miles and serves approximately 225,000 residents and businesses. Operational since September, the TTS uses recycled water to increase operational efficiency at the Water Reclamation Plant and reduce reliance on potable water supplies. Looking forward, the TTS also positions the Department to expand the system’s recycled water capacity to 5 million gallons per day and help to recharge the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin, bolstering long-term water reliability for the region.

State releases unemployment data following federal shutdown By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

T

he seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Los Angeles County remained at 5.7% in September, the same as in August, according to belated figures released Friday by the state Employment Development Department following the end of the federal government's lengthy shutdown. LA County's unemployment rate of 5.7% was down from 6.1% in September 2024. In Orange County, where seasonally adjusted figures were not available, September unemployment was 4.4% compared with August's 4.6% rate. California's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.6% in September, an uptick from 5.5% in August, and from 5.5% during the same period last year. Nationwide unemployment rates were 4.4% in September, 4.3% in August and 4.1% in September 2024. Nonfarm employment in LA County increased by 5,900 jobs between August and September to total nearly 4.6 million. The government sector added the most jobs with

11,400. Statewide labor market figures for September were belatedly released Friday after a two-month delay stemming from the federal government shutdown that lasted started in early October and lasted 43 days. The shutdown affected all data collection and publication by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which in turn threw off the EDD's schedule for publishing employment data. Inland Empire The unemployment rate dipped slightly in Riverside County as new jobs outpaced losses at the end of summer throughout the Inland Empire's regional economy, according to the EDD. Riverside County's jobless rate in September, based on preliminary EDD estimates, was 6.1% and 6.3% in August. The September rate was about half a percentage point higher than the year-ago rate, when countywide unemployment was 5.5%. The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the Inland

Empire, was 5.9% and 6.1% in August, the EDD said. San Bernardino County's jobless rate was 5.7% in September, down slightly from 5.9% in August. Both estimates are not seasonally adjusted. Bi-county data indicated government payrolls expanded the most, adding an estimated 7,000 positions primarily in education, as teachers and school staff returned from their summer break. The agricultural and health services sectors grew by 3,100 positions, according to the EDD. The construction sector shed the most positions, approximately 1,500 in September. The financial services, hospitality, information technology, manufacturing, professional business services and transportation sectors altogether cut 3,100 jobs, EDD figures show. Miscellaneous unclassified industries posted a loss of an additional 300 jobs. The region's mining sector was unchanged. San Diego The unemployment rate in San Diego County decreased to 4.9% in

September, down from a revised 5% in August 2025, and above the September 2024 estimate of 4.4%, the EDD reported. Between August and September, nonfarm employment decreased from 1,559,100 to 1,558,900, a loss of 200 jobs. Agricultural employment shed 100 positions. Leisure and hospitality employment declined by 3,800 to lead all sectors in job losses. Seven additional industries posted monthover losses totaling 6,300, with mining and logging

unchanged. The government sector added 8,600 jobs, and private education and health services increased employment by 1,300 to nearly offset the other sectors' losses. Between September 2024 and September 2025, nonfarm employment increased by 11,300 jobs, while agricultural employment added 100. The private education and health services sector saw the most jobs gained in San Diego County, with an increase of 12,900. Govern-

ment also grew payrolls by 8,000 positions compared with the same monthlong period last year. The other 3,100 jobs added were among leisure and hospitality and other service industries. Six sectors, however, shed jobs over the year for a total loss of 12,700. Professional and business services saw the largest decline of 6,500 positions. Manufacturing, financial activities, trade, transportation and utilities, information, and construction posted the rest of the losses.

Rob Reiner, wife, stabbed to death in Brentwood home; son arrested By City News Service

N

ick Reiner, the son of writer/director Rob Reiner, was jailed on suspicion of murder Monday in connection with the apparent stabbing deaths of his famous father and his mother, Michele, inside their Brentwood home. Personnel from the Los Angeles Fire Department were summoned to the home in the 200 block of Chadbourne Avenue, between Sunset and San Vicente Boulevards, around 3:30 p.m. Sunday for

medical aid, according to department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart. The Los Angeles Police Department was subsequently called to the scene for a death investigation. Police and fire officials identified the victims found in the home as the 78-yearold Reiner and his 68-yearold wife, Michele Singer Reiner. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Inmate Information Center, Nick Reiner,

32, was arrested at 9:15 p.m. Sunday and was booked at 5:04 a.m. Monday on suspicion of murder. He was initially being held on $4 million bail, but was later listed as being jailed with no bail. Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell told reporters Monday morning that Robbery-Homicide Division detectives worked throughout the night "and were able to take into custody Nick Reiner, a suspect in this

case. He was subsequently booked for murder and is being held on $4 million bail." McDonnell called the killings a "very, very tragic incident." There was no official word regarding a possible motive for the crime or the cause of death. TMZ reported that Reiner and his wife suffered "lacerations consistent with a knife." People magazine first reported Sunday night that

Nick Reiner was being questioned by police. People also reported that the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, was the one who found the bodies. People referred to a 2016 interview with the magazine in which Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction and times of homelessness in multiple states.

We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time." The family of the late "All in the Family" creator Norman Lear also issued a statement. "The Lear Family is devastated by the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner. Norman often referred to Rob as a son, and their close relationship was extraordinary, to us and the world. Norman would have wanted to remind us that Rob and Michele spent every breath trying to make this country a better place." Gov. Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom issued a statement on the death of Reiner, saying, "Jen and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. "Rob was the big-hearted genius behind so many of the classic stories we love, with projects as wide-ranging as `The Princess Bride' to `A Few Good Men.' His boundless empathy made his stories timeless, teaching generations how to see goodness and righteousness in others -and encouraging us to dream bigger." The governor added, "That empathy extended well beyond his films. Rob was a passionate advocate for children and for civil rights -from taking on Big Tobacco to fighting for marriage equality to serving as a powerful voice in early education. He made California a better place through his good works. Rob will be remembered for his remarkable filmography and for his extraordinary contribution to humanity." Former President Barack Obama weighed in, as well, writing on X, "Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michelle. Rob's achievements in film

and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. ... We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them." Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also took to X to pay tribute to Reiner, saying, "Rob Reiner's contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice." She added that she knew Reiner personally and "had tremendous respect for him." Former Vice President Kamala Harris said she and former Second Gentleman Doug Imhoff were friends of the Reiners. "Rob Reiner's work has impacted generations of Americans," Harris said. "The characters, dialogue, and visuals he brought to life in film and television are woven throughout our culture. Rob loved our country, cared deeply about the future of our nation, and fought for America's democracy." Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reacted to the couple's deaths. "It's hard to think of anyone more remarkable and excellent in every field and endeavor they pursued. Rob was creative, funny, and beloved," Pelosi wrote. "And in all of their endeavors, Michelle (sic) was his indispensable partner, intellectual resource, and loving wife." Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park's Westside district includes Brentwood. She issued a statement on Facebook. "As we continue to wait for more updates, I want to express my profound concern and sadness at the news coming out of Brentwoood," Parks said. "We are in close contact with LAPD as the homicide unit continues their investigation. Out of an abundance of caution, LAPD has increased patrols in the area."

Fellow actors also took to social media to share their grief and love for the late Reiners. John Cusack, who starred in Reiner's 1985 coming-ofage film, "The Sure Thing," posted on X, "Shocked by the death of Rob Reiner -- a great man." Actor Josh Gad spoke out on social media platform Threads, saying ,"Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were two of the most kind and caring souls you could ever imagine.

"Rob Reiner was a lovely man. I spoke to him last night for over an hour. I always enjoyed his company," Idle said. "He was telling me about filming at Stonehenge and his thoughts for the future. This is so awful. I shall miss him. A clever, talented and very thoughtful man. So awful."

Actor James Woods wrote on X that he and Reiner became friends when they made the movie "Ghosts of Mississippi." "The studio didn't think I was old enough to do the part, but Rob fought for me. Political differences never stood in the way of our love and respect for each other. I am devastated by this terrible event." Actor Corey Feldman starred in Reiner's 1986 film "Stand By Me." "OMG this is horrible news! I'm so sorry for Rob and his wife, and their children, and the whole Reiner family!" Feldman wrote on X. "All I can say is I'm shocked and saddened, but I love you Rob! You will be forever missed." Josh Groban offered a tribute on Instagram. "I had the great privilege of working with Rob Reiner and his brilliant wife Michele this year," Groban said. "As a lifelong fan, I was so nervous to meet him. He and Michele made me feel

like family and gave me an incredible opportunity to fulfill a dream. There was laughter and love and song and it was a memory I will cherish forever. I*m stunned and deeply saddened and sending my love to their family." SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin hailed Reiner as "one of the most significant figures in the history of film and television. The impact he made on American culture simply can't be overstated." Astin added: "So many of Mr. Reiner's films and performances made me think, made me emotional and especially they made me laugh really hard. That's how I will remember him."

Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes rose 1.9% in November over October's numbers, and are up 2.6% year-over-year to their highest level since September 2022. "California home sales reaching their highest level in more than three years is an encouraging sign that the housing market is continuing its recovery," said CAR President Tamara Suminski, a Southern California broker and realtor. "While the sales growth remains gradual, the

upward trend suggests that the market is slowly gaining momentum -- good news for buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals alike." The statewide sales numbers reported by CAR are on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, adjusted to account for factors that typically influence home sales. Localized sales figures for November are not seasonally adjusted and therefore do not reflect the overall increase in sales. Los Angeles County's sales figure dropped 27.6% last month and was down 5.4% year-over-year. Sales in the Los Angeles metro region were down 23.5% month-over-month and 2.7% year-over-year. In Orange County, reported sales were down

21.9% from October and down 3% from one year ago. Meanwhile, home prices dropped across the state for the third consecutive month. The median selling price of an existing, singlefamily home in California declined 3.9% from last month to $852,680, unchanged from a year ago. In Los Angeles County, the median price declined 1.9% to $942,610, 0.6% higher than one year ago. The Los Angeles metro region saw a 2.6% monthly decline to $823,000, 0.1% higher than one year ago. Orange County's median home price was up slightly last month, increasing 0.6% to $1.4 million, which represents a 1.8% increase from one year ago.

The county with the highest median home price in California in November was San Mateo at $2 million. The lowest was Lassen County's $185,000. "Mortgage rates are

expected to continue declining in 2026, but the decrease is unlikely to be dramatic," CAR Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Jordan Levine said. "With the Federal Reserve signaling a

more cautious approach to rate cuts and recent signs of economic slowing, California home sales and prices are projected to experience mild to moderate growth over the next 12 months."

STATEMENT OF RELEVANT FACTS 14. On February 3. 2023 HAILIN ZENG, JEFFREY BENICE, and BENICE LAW brought and filed a LAWSUIT against LINGYUN XIANG, JIN LUO, BIYUN GAO, and BOYA CONSULTING, INC. in Los Angeles Superior Court, LASC Case # 23LBCV00217. The LAWSUIT alleged six causes of action (Promissory Fraud, Constructive Fraud, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Violation of Penal Code § 469(c), Breach of Contract, and Constructive Trust). 15. This LAWSUIT originated from ZENG’s efforts to immigrate to the United States and her retaining the services of GAO and BOYA. With the help of GAO and BOYA, they developed a plan for ZENG’s plan to immigrate to the United States. This plan involved ZENG investing into a Long Beach, California restaurant business known as “Pokicat”. ZENG would invest into the “Pokicat” restaurant, becoming its manager of operations, and thus gain immigration status as a result. 16. Thereafter, ZENG did invest in the Long Beach “Pokicat” restaurant business, took over management and the operations, and ultimately obtained her desired immigration status. However, ZENG was displeased with the fact that the restaurant required significant management and monitoring of day-to-day operations. In the end the Long Beach “Pokicat” restaurant business failed, did not meet its costs, did not pay rent, and was abandoned by ZENG. “Pokicat” Long Beach’s failure was in part ZENG’s in ability

to properly manage the business, manage the employees, and follow instructions. 17. ZENG’s LAWSUIT was brought against XIANG, LUO, GAO, and BOYA with-out probable cause and in doing so ZENG acted with malice. 18. GAO and BOYA were contracted by ZENG to assist her in developing the immigration plan and did so. GAO and BOYA answered ZENG’s complaint and filed a crosscomplaint on April 18, 2023. The crosscomplaint alleged three causes of action for Breach of Contract, Breach of Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, and Breach of Fiduciary Duties. ZENG answered the cross-complaint on June 22, 2023. 19. Defendants XIANG and LUO were two individuals only tangentially related to the ZENG immigration plan. XIANG and LUO were the developers of the business model for the restaurant concept known as “Pokicat.” XIANG and LUO had developed several “Pokicat” restaurants in Sothern California. XIANG and LUO established the initial Long Beach “Pokicat” restaurant that GAO used and transferred to ZENG to support her immigration plan. 20. ZENG’s complaint lacked much specificity, lacked facts, and the allegations were incomplete. The complaint failed to state Defendants XIANG and LUO did anything or were involved in the issues ZENG claimed caused her damages. 21. In response to the complaint, XIANG and LUO filed a demurrer and a motion to strike, As a result ZENG filed the first amended complaint. Once again, ZENG’s First Amended Complaint failed to sufficiently allege the causes of action as required, including how XIANG and LUO could be responsible for ZENG’s damages. Again, XIANG and LUO filed a demurrer and motion to strike to the First Amended Complaint. As a result, the court sustained the demurrer and granted ZENG leave to amend the First Amended Complaint. 22. ZENG amended her complaint and filed a Second Amended Complaint. However, again the complaint lacked the required specificity in order to properly plead valid causes of action against Defendants XIANG and LUO. Again, XIANG and LUO filed a demurrer and a motion to strike. Following the demurrer hearing the court ordered as follows: a. The Court sustained the demurrer as to the causes of action for Promissory Fraud, Constructive Fraud, Violation of Penal Code § 496(c), and Breach of Contract. b. The court overruled the demurrer as to the causes of action for Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Constructive Trust as to Defendants XIANG and LUO with ten days to answer. 23. Thereafter XIANG and LUO filed their answer to the Second Amended Com-plaint. 24. In addition, Trial was set for April 23, 2024, in Department S26 of the Los Angeles Superior Court in Long Beach, California before the Honorable Judge Michael P. Vicencia. 25. Thereafter the parties continued to litigate the case and conduct discovery. All Defendants ZENG, BOYA, XIANG and LUO conducted written discovery (Form Interrogatories, Document Production, Special Interrogatories, and Requests for Admissions) on Plaintiff ZENG and an oral deposition of Plaintiff ZENG took place. 26. Of particular note is that Plaintiff ZENG did not, failed, and refused to conduct any discovery whatsoever on Defendants XIANG and LUO in preparation for trial. NO written discovery was ever propounded on Defendants XIANG and LUO. NO oral depositions were ever taken of either Defendant XIANG or LUO. 27. At Trial Plaintiff ZENG was represented by BENICE and BENICE LAW. Trial began and Plaintiff ZENG proceeded to present her case in chief. 28. At the end of Plaintiff’s ZENG case, Defendants GAO and BOYA made a motion for non-suit. The Court denied the request. Instead the Court offered to grant a motion for judgment as a matter of law and asked if Defendants XIANG and LUO wished to join in on the motion. 29. The Court granted the motion for judgment as a matter of law and ordered as follows: The Court makes the following findings of fact: Plaintiff Hailin Zeng brings this action against Biyun Gao, Boya Consulting, Inc., Jin Luo, and Lin Yun Xiang for Promissory Fraud, Constructive Fraud, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Penal Code §469(c) (theft,) Breach of Contract and Constructive Trust. All causes of action are plead against all four defendants. Plaintiff's operative pleading is the Second Amended Complaint (SAC.) Gao and Boya crosscomplained against Plaintiff Zeng for Breach of Contract, Breach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing and Breach of Fiduciary Duty. The facts are largely uncontroverted. Plaintiff is a Chinese Citizen who originally came to the United States on a visitor's visa. Wanting to stay and work in the United States, Zeng entered into exhibits 1, 2 and 3 with Boya Consulting, Inc., through Boya's principle, Biyun Gao. Exhibit 1 is entitled "Agency Contract of American Immigration" and proports to be written in both Chinese and English. It is dated October 31, 2018. Under the terms of the agreement, Boya is to represent Zeng and provide related consulting services as Zeng applies for "American Immigration." Zeng is required to pay $100,000 on the date of execution of the contract and $300,000 to purchase -'the American enterprise" Poke Cat Oishii, LLC. The document identifies a Bank of America account for Poke Cat Oishii, and requires Zeng to pay the fees to that account. All parties agree that Poke Cat Oishii, is the owner of a Japanese restaurant in Long Beach. Exhibit 2 is dated the same day and entitled "Supplementary Agreement of American Immigration Agency Contract." Paragraph II at page 2 of this document states "The investment amount this time is $400,000." Zeng "hereby entrusts to Party A (Boya) to execute corresponding contracts and to purchase the company located in 707 E. Ocean

Blvd. Long Beach. Party B (Zeng) will hold a 51% of the shares of said company." Paragraph III states ''Party B (Zeng) authorizes Party A (Boya) to manage the said company. During the period of operation. (Zeng) will not be involved in the company's management and operation in any manner ... ". Exhibit 3 is dated November 28, 2018 and is entirely in Chinese with a certified English transcription. No party challenges the translation. After some discussion about exchange rate, the parties "agree to change the payment receiving account" to an account at China Construction Bank in the name of Biyun Gao. Paragraph 3 sets a payment schedule of $300,000 then $100,000. The document purports to "change" article II of the Supplemen-tary Agreement of American Immigration Agency to say that Zeng "entrusts (Boya) to sign the agreement to acquire Poke Cat Oishii in Long Beach. (Boya) is responsible for the authenticity and effectiveness of the investment and acquisition for (Zeng)'s immigration matter ... ". The document also purports to "change" article III of the Supplementary Agreement of American Immigration Agency to say that (Zeng) fully entrusts (Boya) to cooperate and manage the company invested ... (Zeng) shall not participate in the operation or management of the company in any form ... " While not stated in any of the agreements, it appears clear that the parties contemplated that Zeng's ownership interest in Poke Cat Oishii was meant to facilitate the acquisition of an LI visa for Zeng. According to Hungyh Hubert Chu, an immigration attorney hired to obtain the visa, the 51 % interest in Poke Cat Oishii, was to be held by a Chinese company, Sichuan Province Great Master Landscape Engineering Co. LTD. The Chinese company would then "hire" Zeng to manage Poke Cat Oishii. Mr. Chu explained that the L 1 visa is designed for foreign workers in the US to manage the assets of international companies. Zeng testified that Sichuan Province Great Master Landscape Engineering Co. LTD. is owned by her friend. She was evasive as to whether or not ever Sichuan Province Great Master Landscape Engineering Co. LTD. actually held any shares in Poke Cat Oishii. It appears clear that Sichuan Province Great Master Landscape Engineering Co. LTD. never had any involvement in Poke Cat Oishii. In her testimony, Gao testified that she had a similar arrangement with Xiaohua Teng before the agreement with Zeng. According to Gao, in 2017, at the inception of Poke Cat Oishii, Gao and Teng entered into an agreement whereby Teng would invest $250,000 and become CEO. In exchange, 51% of the shares would go to Teng's corporation in China. That corporation would then make Teng CEO. This employment would assist her in her immigration application. When it became clear that $250,000 would be insufficient to start the restaurant, Teng backed out of the deal. Gao refunded $90,000 from her own funds and Poke Cat Oishii refunded the remaining $160,000. In the end, Gao would invest over $400,000 in Poke Cat Oishii. After Teng's exit, Gao controlled 76% of the shares. These shares, in part, were sold to Zeng. Despite the provisions of Exhibits 2 and 3, Zeng took an active role in the day-to-day operations of Poke Cat Oishii in July of 2020 when, according to Zeng, Jin Luo asked her for additional investment money to keep the restaurant operational. Two months later, Zeng used her interest in Poke Cat Oishii to pass exhibit 21, a corporate resolution terminating the employment of Jin Luo and Biyun Gao and making herself the CEO. Zeng would run the restaurant for approximately two years. She would make additional investments to keep the restaurant operational. She blames Gao and Luo for having to make the additional investments because they took property, passwords and failed to make necessary payments. By October of 2022, the restaurant was no longer viable, and the lease was surrendered back to the landlord (see exhibit 10.) According to Mr. Chu, Zeng's Ll visa was revoked May 19, 2023. As to Plaintiff’s causes of action, the court rules as follows: False Promise In order to succeed on a claim of fraud by false promise, Zeng must prove all of the following: 1. That defendants made a promise to plaintiff; 2. That defendants did not intend to perform this promise when she/they made it; 3. That defendants intended that plaintiff rely on this promise; 4. That plaintiff reasonably relied on the promise; 5. That defendants did not perform the promised act; 6. That plaintiff was harmed; and 7. That plaintiff's reliance on defendants' promise was a substantial factor in causing her harm. Magpali v. Farmers Group, Inc. (1996) 48 Cal. App.4th 471, 481. Zeng claims that Gao and Boya promised that Zeng' s $400,000 investment would go into running or improving Poke Kat Oishii, as opposed to Gao herself. Nothing in the writings (exhibits 1, 2 and 3) show such a promise. For her part, Gao insists she told Zeng that she was selling the shares that Gao owned. Gao testified that her $400,000+ investment and work in starting the company led her to owning 76% of the shares in Poke Cat Oishii. The Court determines this to be true. Zeng' s testimony is less believable, and it does not appear to this court that she relied on any such promise. It should be noted that the kindest assessment of this scheme is that it had the dual purpose of having a successful business and helping its investor maintain an immigration visa (see endnote 1) The restaurant opened in 2018 in a large, new, highrise apartment building with a large, new, highrise condo-minium building being constructed next door. Mr. Luo testified that, while it takes some time for any restaurant to become profitable, he had hoped Poke Cat Oishii would become so. There is virtually no evidence that anyone involved wanted the business to fail or was indifferent in that regard. Of course, a world-wide pandemic and ensuing shutdown in 2020 hampered the

company's progress. Mr. Luo testified the business closed in March 2020 and could not reopen until July 2020. It is clear to this Court that Zeng was far more interested in obtaining a visa than making sure that Poke Cat Oishii remained a going concern. Zeng did virtually nothing to examine the financial worthiness of the business plan. She did not visit the restaurant or inquire as to its success during the entire calendar year of 2019. She only became interested in the health of the endeavor when she was asked to invest more. To suggest that she relied on a promise to apply her $400,000 to restaurant operations when she had no idea if the business was sufficiently capitalized or if the additional money would be well spent or wasted, strains credulity. The Court con-cludes that no such promise was made and, had it been, Zeng did not rely on that promise. With respect to defendants Luo, and Xiang, there is no evidence that they made any promise or are otherwise responsible under this theory. Therefore, judgment as to the 1st cause of action for False Promise should enter in favor of all defendants. Constructive Fraud To prove constructive fraud, the plaintiff must show (1) a fiduciary relationship, (2) nondisclosure, (3) intent to deceive, and (4) reliance and resulting injury. Constructive fraud is any breach of duty that, without fraudulent intent, gains an advantage to the person at fault by misleading another to his prejudice. Civ. Code, § 1573; Stokes v. Henson (1990) 217 Cal.App.3d 187, 197; Tindell v. Murphy, 22 Cal. App. 5th 1239, 12491250 "The investment adviser/client relationship is one such relationship, giving rise to a fiduciary duty as a matter of law." Hasso v. Hapke (2014) 227 Cal.App.4th 107, 140. "The fraud consists of the breach of the fiduciary duty of disclosure of relevant matters arising from the relationship." Younan v. Equifax Inc., 111 Cal.App.3d 498, 517. Zeng claims that Gao and Boya owned a fiduciary duty as investment advisor and failed to disclose that Zeng's investment was not being applied to restaurant operations. Again, Gao testified that she told Zeng that Gao was selling Zeng Gao's shares. Like the False Promise analysis, Gao is the more believable witness, and the Court does not believe that Zeng relied on the alleged failure to disclose. With respect to defendants Luo, and Xiang, there is no evidence that they owed any duty or are otherwise responsible under this theory. Therefore, judgment as to the 2nd cause of action for Constructive Fraud should enter in favor of all defendants. Breach of Fiduciary Duty Plaintiff claims that she was banned by defendants' breach of the fiduciary duty to use reasonable care. To establish this claim, plaintiff must prove all of the following: 1. That defendants were plaintiffs fiduciary; 2. That defendants acted on plaintiff's behalf for purposes of making investment advice; 3. That defendants failed to act as a reasonably careful fiduciary would have acted under the same or similar circumstances; 4. That plaintiff was harmed; and 5. That defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff's harm. Wolf v. Superior Court (2003) 107 Cal.App.4th 25, 29. To the extent that Zeng makes the same claim here as she does for her Constructive Fraud cause of action, the analysis is identical. Plaintiff also argues defendants failed to act as a reasonably careful fiduciaries by failing to apply the $400,000 to restaurant operations and undercapitalizing the business. As stated above, Gao was free to sell a portion of the shares she owned and was under no obligation to reinvest given her prior investment and work in starting the company. The undercapitalization claim is belied by the fact that the restaurant continued operating, at a loss, from February 2018 until a worldwide pandemic forced them to close, a period of over two years. Plaintiff makes the fanciful argument that if Gao had reinvested the money she had received from Zeng, the company could have continued to operate at a loss for a longer period of time. While this is true - pumping enough money into any fail-ing business will keep it operating -- Gao's fiduciary obligations do not require her to invest more of her own money into a losing venture for the sake of keeping the doors open. Plaintiff seems to imply an obligation to keep the business running so that Zeng could keep her visa. That would transform this legitimate business trying to make a go of it into a front for a visa scam. The Court concludes that this was never contemplated by any of the parties. Therefore, judgment as to the 3rd cause of action for Breach of Fiduciary Duty should enter in favor of all defendants. Violation of California Penal Code § 496(c) Cal Pen Code§ 496 (c) allows for treble damages, costs of suit, and reasonable attorney's fees for any harm caused by a violation of Cal Pen Code§ 496(a). To succeed on a claim of violation of § 496(a), plaintiff must prove all of the following: 1. That defendants bought or received any property that has been stolen or that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft or extortion; 2. That defendants knew the property to be so stolen or obtained, or who conceals, sells, withholds, or aids in concealing, selling, or withholding any property from the owner, knowing the property to be so stolen or obtained; and 3. That plaintiff was banned. Plaintiff argues "Defendants' theft of Plaintiffs $400,000 constitutes a violation of Penal Code $ 496(c); Plaintiff is entitled to treble damages and attorneys' fees" (see Plaintiff's Trial Brief at p. 8.) Since the Court has determined there has been no fraud or theft, this section is inapplicable. Therefore, judgment as to the 4th cause of action for Violation of California Penal Code § 496(c) should enter in favor of all defendants. Breach of Contract To recover damages from defendant for breach of contract, plaintiff must prove all of the following: 1. That plaintiff and defendant entered into a contract; 2. That plaintiff did all, or substantially all, of the significant

DECEMBER 18-DECEMBER 24, 2025 15

things that the contract required her to do; 3.That defendant failed to do something that the contract required it to do; 4. That plaintiff was harmed; and 5. That defendant's breach of contract was a substantial factor in causing plaintiffs harm. Plaintiff identifies only "Defendants' wrongful conduct in misappropriating Plaintiffs $400,000 constitutes a breach of the Agency Contract" (see Plaintiffs Trial Brief at p. 8.) As explained, no such misappropriation occurred. Therefore, judgment as to the 5th cause of action Breach of Contract should enter in favor of all defendants. Constructive Trust A constructive trust is an involuntary equitable trust created by operation of law as a remedy to compel the transfer of property from the person wrongfully holding it to the rightful owner. The essence of the theory of constructive trust is to prevent unjust enrichment and to prevent a person from taking advantage of his or her own wrongdoing. Under Civ. Code,§§ 2223 and 2224, a constructive trust may only be imposed where the following three conditions are satisfied: (1) the existence of a res (property or some interest in property), (2) the right of a complaining party to that res, and (3) some wrongful acquisition or detention of the res by another party who is not entitled to it. Burlesci v. Petersen, 68 Cal. App. 4th 1062, 1065. Since no "wrongful acquisition" has occurred, judgment as to the 6th cause of action Constructive Trust should enter in favor of all defendants. The Defendants’ motions for judgment as to all four defendants is GRANTED. After the announcement of the Court's decision, Defendants and Crosscomplainants, Gao and Boya moved to dis-miss their cross-complaint. The Court orders the Cross-Complaint filed by Boya Consult-ing, Inc., et al. on 04/18/2023 dismissed with-out prejudice. Counsel for defendants Gao and Boya is ordered to prepare a proposed judgment con-sistent with this ruling and file it with the court withing four weeks or no later than May 24, 2024. 30. In addition, the Court added the fol-lowing to the written order: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, Judgment be entered against Plaintiff HAILIN ZENG in favor of Defendants BIYUN GAO, BOYA CONSULTING, INC., LIN YUN XIANG, and JIN LUO. Defendants BIYUN GAO and BOYA CONSULTING shall recover costs as speci-fied in the Memorandum of Costs of $7,735.08 which also includes the sanctions for failure to withdraw the improperly filed Lis Pendens or-dered against Plaintiff and her attorney in the amount of $3,412.50. Defendants LIN YUN XIANG and JIN LUO shall recover costs as specified in the Memorandum of Costs of $8,710.45. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION FOR MALICIOUS PROSECUTION (Against All Defendants and DOES 1 through 10) 31. Plaintiffs realleges and incorporates by reference each and every allegation in each and every paragraph as though fully set forth herein. 32. ZENG wanted to immigrate to the United States and retained the consulting ser-vices of GAO and her company BOYA. 33. GAO and BOYA developed a plan for ZENG. The plan involved ZENG investing in-to the Long Beach “Pokicat” restaurant and managing the business as part of her immi-gration application. 34. ZENG invested into the Long Beach “Pokicat” restaurant as planned, applied for her immigration status, and began to manage the business. However, she eventually aban-doned the business and left for China. GAO and LUO were left to clean up the mess, pay all the debts, and close down the business in-cluding negotiating with the landlord. 35. Thereafter, arising out of this pro-posed investment, in February 2023, ZENG filed a LAWSUIT against Defendants GAO, BOYA, XIANG, and LUO in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Long Beach Courthouse, Zeng vs. Xiang et al. LASC Case # 23LBCV00217. 36. XIANG and LUO, plaintiffs in the present action, were Defendants in the LAW-SUIT. In the LAWSUIT, ZENG was repre-sented by BENICE and BENICE LAW. ZENG brought this LAWSUIT against Defendants XIANG and LUO without probable cause and did so acting with malice. 37. In preparation for trial the Defendants ZENG, BOYA, XIANG and LUO conducted written discovery (Form Interrogatories, Document Production, Special Interrogatories, and Requests for Admissions) and an oral deposition of Plaintiff ZENG. 38. However, Plaintiff ZENG did not, failed to, and refused to conduct any discovery whatsoever on Defendants XIANG and LUO. NO written discovery was ever propounded on XIANG and LUO. NO oral depositions were ever taken of either Defendant XIANG or LUO. 39. Plaintiff ZENG proceeded to trial without any evidence against XIANG and LUO. 40. BENICE and BENICE LAW represented Plaintiff ZENG the whole time. Trial began and Plaintiff ZENG proceeded to present her case in chief. 41. At Trial, Plaintiff proceeded to pre-sent her case in chief. However, Plaintiff presented NO evidence against XIANG and LUO. At the end of Plaintiff’s ZENG case in chief, Defendants GAO and BOYA made a motion for non-suit. The Court denied the re-quest. 42. Instead, the Court offered to grant a motion for judgment as a matter of law and asked if Defendants XIANG and LUO wished to join in on the motion. XIANG and LUP joined in on the motion. 43. On May 30, 2024, the Court entered Judgment (hereinafter “JUDGMENT”) against Plaintiff ZENG in favor of Defendants BIYUN GAO, BOYA CONSULTING, INC., LIN YUN XIANG, and JIN LUO. 44. The JUDGMENT was the sole and final

ruling on the LAWSUIT. 45. Plaintiff ZENG did not attempt to appeal. Plaintiff ZENG did not file a motion to reconsider and neither did any of the parties. 46. The JUDGMENT constituted legal final termination of the LAWSUIT and in favor of Defendants XIANG and LUO. 47. The JUDGMENT reflected the failed LAWSUIT and confirmed XIANG and LUO’s innocence on the claims. 48. The JUDGMENT thus constituted a favorable termination, in favor of Plain-tiffs/Defendants XIANG and LUO on the LAWSUIT. 49. ZENG lacked probable cause to file and present the LAWSUIT. No reasonable at-torney would have thought the LAWSUIT could be held to be valid upon adjudication. ZENG did not hold an honest belief that the LAWSUIT could be held to be valid upon adjudication. 50. The JUDGMENT provided lan-guage that precluded and prevented the filing of an Appeal. This is reflected by their delib-erate and willful failure to conduct any discov-ery of XIANG and LUO. 51. ZENG continued to prosecute the LAWSUIT without probable cause right to the end, as is reflected in the failure and inability to present any case or facts against Defendants XIANG and LUO at trial. 52. ZENG acted with malice in initiating, filing, presenting, and trying the LAWSUIT. The obvious purpose was to involve these third parties (XIANG and LUO) without justifi-cation in an attempt to involve third parties with assets with the hopes of obtaining a set-tlement. 53. This constituted an improper ulterior motive and thus malice. The malice continued right through the time of the JUDGMENT, by virtue of ZENG never dismissing the LAWSUIT, never resolving the case, proceeding to trial against XIANG and LUO, not conduct-ing a discovery as to XIANG and LUO. 54. ZENG knew and did not believe the LAWSUIT had merit. If she and her attorney believed the LAWSUIT had merit, they would not have conducted discovery of Defendants XIANG and LUO before trial. 55. As a direct and proximate cause of the actions of the ZENG, XIANG and LUO have suffered substantial damages, damages that would not have occurred but for the con-duct of the ZENG and her attorney, BENICE, and BENICE LAW, including, but not limited to: (a) The $123,543.55 in attorney fees and costs defending the LAWSUIT. (b) Loss-of-reputation damages in amounts to be determined. (c) Punitive Damages in the amount of $370,630.65. (c) Other consequential damages in amounts to be determined. 56. As a result of the malicious prosecution by ZENG and her attorney BENICE and BENICE LAW, XIANG and LUO incurred economic damages that exceed $494,174.20. 57. As a result of the conduct of ZENG, XIANG and LUO are entitled to exemplary and punitive damages. ZENG is guilty of op-pression, fraud and malice. Her conduct was intended to cause injury to XIANG and LUO and was despicable and carried on with the willful and conscious disregard of their rights. 58. ZENG’s conduct subjected XIANG and LUO to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious disregard of their rights. ZENG concealed material facts known to them with the intention to deprive XIANG and LUO of prop-erty and legal rights and otherwise causing injury. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ABUSE OF PROCESS (Against All Defendants and DOES 11 through 20) 59. Plaintiffs realleges and incorporates by reference each and every allegation in each and every paragraph as though fully set forth herein. 60. In crafting and presenting the LAWSUIT in a deliberately misleading manner, as described above, ZENG and her attorney BENICE, and BENICE LAW used the Court’s process for a purpose other than for which the process was designed. ZENG’s improper ul-terior motive in crafting and presenting the LAWSUIT was improper. 61. The LAWSUIT contained a deliber-ate misrepresentation of the facts and language of the agreement between the parties. The conduct of ZENG in deliberately misrep-resenting the facts constituted a willful act not proper in the regular conduct of a trial pro-ceeding seeking enforcement. 62. As a direct and proximate cause of the actions of ZENG, XIANG and LUO have suffered substantial damage, damage that would not have occurred but for the conduct of ZENG, including, but not limited to: (a) The $123,543.55 in attorney fees and costs defend-ing the LAWSUIT; (b) Loss-ofreputation damages in amounts to be determined; (c) Punitive damages in the amount of $370,630.65, and (c) Other consequential damages in amounts to be determined. 63. As a result of the abuse of process by ZENG and her attorney BENICE, total economic damages sustained by XIANG and LUO exceed $494,174.20. 64. As a result of the conduct of ZENG, XIANG and LUO are entitled to exemplary and punitive damages. The conduct of ZENG makes her guilty of oppression, fraud and malice. The conduct of ZENG was intended to cause injury to XIANG and LUO and was despicable and carried on with a willful and conscious disregard of their rights. 65. The conduct of ZENG subjected XIANG and LUO to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious disregard of their rights. ZENG concealed material facts known to them with the intention to deprive XIANG and LUO of property and legal rights and otherwise cause injury.

DA charges 5 allegedly unlicensed contractors working in Altadena By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

L

os Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced charges against five men for allegedly working as unlicensed contractors in the Eaton Fire zone. An investigation by the DA's office and the California Contractors State License Board, or CSLB led to one felony count each for: -- Andrew Escarzaga, 27, and Daniel Escarzaga, 28, both of Chino, who are set to be arraigned Jan. 8 in Pasadena; -- Edgar Geovanni Lopez Revolorio, 42, of Arleta, who pleaded not guilty Wednesday; -- Guillermo Ramirez, 54, of Pomona, who pleaded not guilty Thursday and allegedly has two prior felony convictions; -- Melvin Hairon Mejia Ordonez, 41, of Los Angeles, who pleaded not guilty Thursday. At a news conference Thursday, Hochman and Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents Altadena

and communities affected by the Eaton Fire, urged victims of the blaze to watch out for unlicensed construction contractors. “My office is cracking down on criminal contractors who prey on residents who have already lost so much and cannot afford to lose more,” Hochman said in a statement. “I urge the communities impacted by the wildfires to stay vigilant and report unlicensed contractors who are taking advantage of this disaster and putting your safety and property at risk. This is important: You are still the victim of a crime even if you knowingly hired an unlicensed contractor and should alert authorities.” Barger and Hochman also announced a campaign to warn contractors that they will be prosecuted for unlicensed activity in fire zones, including warning signs distributed in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Armenian in fireimpacted areas.

“Rebuilding after the Eaton Fire is hard enough, and no survivor should also have to fear being exploited by unlicensed or unscrupulous contractors," Barger said in a statement. "I wholeheartedly appreciate District Attorney Hochman for his steadfast leadership in protecting our communities and sending a clear message that this criminal behavior will not be tolerated. As Altadena recovers, we will continue working together to safeguard residents’ safety and peace of mind.” On Dec. 4, the District Attorney's Office filed felony charges against five unlicensed contractors who prosecutors said were illegally operating in Altadena as residents rebuild their homes after the Eaton Fire that killed 19 people, destroyed or damaged thousands of structures and scorched over 14,000 acres. Prosecutors said it is a felony to contract without a license to work on buildings

damaged or destroyed in a natural disaster for which the governor declares a state of emergency. If convicted, penalties could be three years in prison and/ or a fine of up to $10,000. Officials urged the public to report unlicensed contracting to the state licensing board. “CSLB is committed to its consumer protection mission as wildfire survivors recover and rebuild,"

board Registrar David Fogt said in a statement. "Combatting unscrupulous contractors, protecting the public and empowering survivors with resources as they navigate the process. We encourage consumers to visit CSLB’s Disaster Help Center as their resource to verify a license or to file a complaint.” Officials said residents seeking to rebuild or make repairs should do a license

look-up before starting construction work. Licensed contractors are required to provide their state license number, follow insurance and bonding requirements, obtain all required permits and comply with safety regulations. Information on how to check a contractor’s license, find a licensed contractor, report unlicensed contractors and file a complaint are online at cslb.ca.gov.

Another horse suffers fatal injury at Los Alamitos By City News Service

A

nother horse suffered a fatal injury this weekend at Los Alamitos Race Course, the latest blow for the track, which is under increased scrutiny from state officials for its high number of equine deaths. Stanley Cartel, a 4-yearold colt with nine first-place finishes in his 12 career races, collapsed to the ground shortly after finishing Saturday's 8th race, requiring euthanasia, California Horse Racing Board spokesman Mike Marten told City News Service on Sunday. The official race chart says Stanley Cartel "was unable to keep up with a sixteenth to go, drifted inward and weakened, shortly after the wire he took a bad step with what appears to be his right

front, lost his balance and fell while also losing the rider and was transported by equine ambulance." He is the 19th horse to die from a racing or training injury at the Cypress track this year. "Los Alamitos is becoming a horse graveyard as the number of animals fatally injured on its tracks keeps climbing," PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo said Sunday. "PETA urges the CHRB to immediately halt racing at Los Alamitos, thoroughly review its safety protocols, and protect the surviving horses trained by Ramiro Castillo by pulling them from upcoming races and conducting thorough veterinary exams, including CT scans."

On Dec. 8, Los Alamitos officials announced that they had banned trainer Castillo from operating a stable at the track following the deaths of five of his horses over the past six months. Track officials said in a statement that two of his horses died racing, while three others died from illnesses. Castillo could not be

reached for comment. In late November, after three horses died at Los Alamitos on the same day, the CHRB laid out a series of reforms for track officials to implement to avoid having their license suspended. Los Alamitos officials said they would comply with the CHRB's safety overhauls, which include holding weekly

meetings with state regulators, adding more veterinarians, exams and ambulances, and further restricting the use of IA injections, especially those that are close in time to racing and workouts. "Los Alamitos Race Course management takes the safety and welfare of our equine athletes and humans with paramount urgency and will be implementing every measure listed on the California Horse Racing Board letter received on November 25," the track said in a statement last month. "As early as Sunday night, November 23, Los Alamitos Race Course management began working with our medical and racing teams on installing even more strict measures and enhanced

safety protocols to decrease equine injuries. Animal safety has always been our top priority, and it has become an even greater priority today. "Track President Cathy Allred has been in contact with CHRB Executive Director C. Scott Chaney and will be part of the weekly meetings with the CHRB staff and Commissioners," the statement continued. "Changes have been made, and further changes will be made to improve the safety of horses training and racing at Los Alamitos. We thank the California Horse Racing Board for its leadership, and we are prepared to work with their staff as we face this very important moment at Los Alamitos Race Course."

State Supreme Court denies HB's request for housing suit review By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

T

he California Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to review an appellate ruling in the state's favor compelling the city of Huntington Beach to comply with the state's affordable housing requirements. City officials argued they were not required to fulfill housing mandates from the state because Huntington Beach is a charter city, allowing for greater local authority. The state sued in March 2023, and in May 2024 a San Diego Superior Court judge ruled the city violated the California Housing Element Law. The ruling, however, did not include mandate remedies the state sought. Appellate court justices later found that the lower court erred when a 120-day deadline was omitted from the ruling. The appeals court directed the San Diego judge to enter a new order providing the state's requested remedies and to "expeditiously" resolve all remaining issues in the case. State officials issued

statements welcoming the decision. "Huntington Beach needs to end this pathetic NIMBY behavior," Gov. Gavin Newsom said. "They are failing their own citizens by wasting time and money that could be used to create much-needed housing. No more excuses, you lost once again — it's time to get building." California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the city has "run out of excuses in our state's courts. It was required to submit a compliant housing element on Oct. 15, 2021, more than four years ago. Rather than follow the law, the city has been squandering public money to avoid building its fair share of housing. "We promised that we would hold Huntington Beach accountable, and we have successfully done so at every turn to date. Our case now returns to the trial court, where we will continue to ensure that the City answers for its unlawful actions," Bonta added.

"This decision reaffirms that no one is above the law, and Huntington Beach can no longer refuse to do its part to address California’s crisis of housing affordability and homelessness,” state Housing and Community Development Director Gustavo Velasquez said. “Charter cities are not exempt from state housing law, and the few bad actors who believe so need to stop looking for a way to avoid their responsibilities.” The city also issued a statement following the court ruling: "The California Supreme Court on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025, declined to review the Court of Appeal's interim ruling in the state's housing-element lawsuit. This result is not surprising: The Supreme Court rarely grants review while a case is still developing in the trial court, and major legal questions remain unresolved, including the conflict between the Housing Element Law and (the California Environmental Quality Act) and

the Housing Department's uneven enforcement. "The city sought review after the Court of Appeal's interim decision declined to address the CEQA conflict, leaving the city in a no-win situation: facing penalties unless it adopts a housing element, even though CEQA prohibits adoption until environ-

mental review is completed and lawful findings can be made. Because the litigation continues, Wednesday's denial simply means the Supreme Court is not considering review at this time. The city will continue to vigorously defend its environmental stewardship, its charter-city authority and its right to fair and

LASD announces reward for information about 2021 murders By City News Service

S

heriff's investigators Tuesday touted a $60,000 reward in hopes of encouraging people to come forward with information leading to the person or people responsible for the killings of two men in Compton four years ago. Javier Menchaca, 19, and Juan Orozco, 22, were fatally shot just before 1 a.m. Nov.14, 2021, while they were seated inside Menchaca' s vehicle during an illegal street race/ takeover event near 1940

N. Bullis Road and Pine Street, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. Sheriff's officials said more than 100 people were gathered at the intersection when the shots rang out. When gunshots rang out, the crowd scattered. "This was a senseless act of violence carried out in a crowded area where dozens of people

may have seen or heard something critical," sheriff's homicide Lt. Michael Gomez said. "We know someone in that crowd has information that can help bring justice to these two young men and provide answers to their families. We are urging anyone with knowledge of this crime no matter how small it may seem to come forward." Orozco's mother, Sylvia, said through an interpreter, "My son never came home that night, and

our family has lived with this pain every day since. If you saw something or know who did this, please speak up. Help us get justice for Juan and Javier and allow our families to begin to heal." Anyone with information was asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale .NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or (888) 9023989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-17059CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANTS: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call or (888) 902-3989 or visit these internet websites or www.nestortrustee.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-17059-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than

15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

erty if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 280-2832, or visit this internet website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-10110CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. 3 File No.:25-10110CA If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective.

Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506. WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the

deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. ÓRDENES DE RESTRICCIÓN ESTÁNDAR DE DERECHO FAMILIAR En forma inmediata, usted y su cónyuge o pareja de hecho tienen prohibido: 1. llevarse del estado de California a los hijos menores de las partes, o solicitar un pasaporte nuevo o de repuesto para los hijos menores, sin el consentimiento previo por escrito de la otra parte o sin una orden de la corte; 2. cobrar, pedir prestado, cancelar, transferir, deshacerse o cambiar el nombre de los beneficiarios de cualquier seguro u otro tipo de cobertura, como de vida, salud, vehículo y discapacidad, que tenga como beneficiario(s) a las partes y su(s) hijo(s) menor(es); 3. transferir, gravar, hipotecar, ocultar o deshacerse de cualquier manera de cualquier propiedad, inmueble o personal, ya sea comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o separada, sin el consentimiento escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte, excepto en el curso habitual de actividades personales y comerciales o para satisfacer las necesidades de la vida; y 4. crear o modificar una transferencia no testamentaria de manera que afecte la asignación de una propiedad sujeta a transferencia, sin el consentimiento por escrito de la otra parte o una orden de la corte. Antes de que se pueda eliminar la revocación de una transferencia no testamentaria, se debe presentar ante la corte un aviso del cambio y hacer una entrega legal de dicho aviso a la otra parte. Cada parte tiene que notificar a la otra sobre cualquier gasto extraordinario propuesto por lo menos cinco días hábiles antes de realizarlo, y rendir cuenta a la corte de todos los gastos extraordinarios realizados después de que estas órdenes de restricción hayan entrado en vigencia. No obstante, puede usar propiedad comunitaria, cuasicomunitaria o suya separada para pagar a un abogado que lo ayude o para pagar los costos de la corte. AVISO-ACCESO A SEGURO DE SALUD MÁS ECONÓMICO: ¿Necesita seguro de salud a un costo asequible, ya sea para usted o alguien en su hogar? Si es así, puede presentar una solicitud con Covered California. Covered California lo puede ayudar a reducir el costo que paga por seguro de salud asequible y de alta calidad. Para obtener más información, visite www.coveredca. com. O llame a Covered California al 1-800-300-0213. ADVERTENCIA-IMFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas por las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (por ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado. DAVID JAMES MARCUM 1005 W.

THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 415 LOG LANE, VALLEY OF ENCHANTMENT, CA 92325 A.P.N.: 0343-187-29-0000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 241,839.81. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/loginpage. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2025-00835-CA-REV. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855)-976-3916, or visit this internet website https://tracker.auction.com/ sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-00835-CA-REV to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 9878 MAPLE COURT, ADELANTO, CA 92301 A.P.N.: 0459-781-37-0000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 134,633.92. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/loginpage. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2025-00594-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855)-882-1314, or visit this internet website https://www.hubzu.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2025-00594-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Fire survivors In October, state regulators OK'd a rate increase expected to generate nearly $1 billion annually for Edison, along with close to $1 billion in retroactive payments. The result has been sharply higher profits for the company as displaced survivors run out of money for housing, according to the EFSN. Fire-driven rent hikes Prior to the wildfire, Altadena was one of the region's more affordable communities, with average rents around $1,792 and county rent stabilization helping limit sudden increases, according to the Eaton Fire Collaborative Housing Impact Survey. But after the fire sharply reduced the local housing supply, displaced residents were at the mercy of one of the nation's tightest rental markets, where the cost of housing doubled or tripled in the months following the fire. Department of Angels research shows that most survivors are still in temporary or unstable housing because post-fire rents exceed what they're able to afford. More than 1 in 3 families are expected to be forced into another move within months as remaining housing funds run out. “The Eaton Fire collapsed the housing market our community depended on,”Lisa Odigie, a total-loss survivor and leader of the Eaton Fire Collaborative, said in a statement. “Before the fire, rents averaged around $1,800 a month. After the

fire, they jumped to $4,000 to $6,000 — before deposits, duplicate utilities, storage, transportation, and childcare. Most renters and more than half of homeowners simply cannot afford today's market.” Closing the housing gap Edison's Wildfire Recovery Compensation Plan is the utility's program for compensating fire survivors outside of the court system. Two analyses by survivors found that the WRCP is not designed to keep families housed or move recovery forward. The reviews concluded that the plan excludes renters, smoke-damaged households and others, relies on pre-fire assumptions that do not reflect post-fire reality and provides rent assistance well below current market rates. “The plan requires families to permanently waive their legal rights in order to access housing assistance,” EFSN Stategy Director Andrew Wessels said in a statement. “That is not a path to recovery. If families are pushed to give up what they are owed just to survive, the recovery will never have the funds required to rebuild homes, restore livelihoods, or stabilize the community.” The Department of Angels' research also points to the broader impact of prolonged displacement — 43% of survivors report depleting most or all of their savings, 41% have new debt and 73% report worsening mental health because of

Port repeated moves and overall uncertainty. State Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, D-Pasadena said emergency housing relief for fire survivors must be separate from long-term compensation. “There should be no strings attached to providing much-needed emergency housing to Eaton Fire survivors who are still displaced and suffering trauma," Pérez said in a statement. "Emergency housing relief must be kept entirely separate from any settlement process. While SCE's program includes funds for temporary housing, it's limited and inadequate. Survivors should never be forced to choose between having a safe place to live and preserving their legal rights. “When families are required to permanently waive their legal rights just to access housing, the recovery loses the funds needed to rebuild,” Pérez added. “Housing relief should meet immediate needs without sacrificing the future." The survivors coalition wants SCE to provide temporary housing support without legal waivers to keep residents housed until they can safely return home, organizers said. The Eaton Fire erupted Jan. 7 amid extremely fast winds. SCE is facing serval lawsuits claiming one of the company's power lines ignited the blaze in Eaton Canyon that killed 19 people and destroyed or damaged more than 10,000 structures.

port handled 262,122 empty containers, a 13% decrease from last year. Seroka reiterated that imports surged earlier in the year as a result of front loading, as a way for importers to get around anticipated tariffs from the Trump administration. "Once you adjust for that early front loading, and compare this November to our running five-year average, we're basically right on track, and that gives us a pretty good sense of where things stand today," Seroka said. He further explained that exports out of Los Angeles have been down in seven of the last 11 months. For the first time since 2021, the port is on track for a year-overyear decline in outbound goods, which in part can be attributed to impacts of retaliatory tariffs and third country trade deals on U.S. agriculture and manufacturing exports. Seroka anticipates this headwind will continue

for some time. Constance Hunter, chief economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit, joined Seroka for the briefing. She provided insights on the impacts of tariffs on trade and the economy, and an outlook for 2026. Hunter noted that while federal tariffs did shave off some points from U.S. gross domestic product, two other factors balanced it out, import front loading and investment into artificial intelligence technology, ultimately driving the overall annual growth this year. Entering 2026, Hunter expects a level of economic uncertainty to linger. "We, of course, have the Supreme Court ruling on the IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) tariffs. The administration will look for other ways to gain back that revenue, and of course that will add uncertainty," Hunter said. "If we think about just geopolitical uncertainty and

political risk, that is unlikely to abate in 2026. We have Russia, Ukraine and how that impacts European growth, and then that big China and Taiwan question, and the durability of peace in the Middle East," Hunter added. On the other side of the coin, Hunter anticipated that people will act in spite of the economic uncertainty, and AI adoption will continue as well. "One thing we do think that will be different is we think firms will begin to pass on a bit more of the tariff costs onto consumers, so that will certainly take a pinch out of consumption, but we have to juxtapose that against the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act tax refunds," Hunter said. Hunter added, "The timing of these tax refunds mean that they (businesses) will be able to pass on a bit more than they did in 2025, so when we think of goods prices, we don't expect affordability to improve significantly, at least in the first half of 2026."

Newsom tours LA wildfire recovery efforts, presses Trump for funds By Joe Taglieri joet@beaconmedianews.com

G

ov. Gavin Newsom visited areas of Los Angeles County recovering from the Eaton and Palisades fires last week and repeated a request for "longdelayed" federal funding to aid recovery efforts. Newsom met with survivors in Altadena and Pacific Palisades to learn about funding initiatives to speed up rebuilding and visited homes undergoing construction, including one by Habitat for Humanity expected to be completed next month. "As we approach the one-year mark since the devastating firestorms in Los Angeles, we’re still standing with every survivor who’s navigating the trauma, the loss, and the long path back," Newsom said in a statement. "But we can also see and feel the progress. Homes are going back up, businesses are reopening, and communities are locking arms to help each other heal. "As these neighborhoods rebuild, we’re not going anywhere — we’re committed to seeing this through and ensuring this community comes back stronger than before," he added. Newsom also again called on President Donald Trump to authorize nearly $34 billion in funding for recovery from the LA wildfires. In a Dec. 11 letter to Trump that followed a trip to the nation's capital earlier this month, Newsom submitted a fourth request for funding since February, when the president promised he would “take care” of survivors, according to Newsom's office. "Recovery requires partnership, commitment, and follow-through," Newsom wrote to Trump. "We may trade our

share of political jabs, but in moments of disaster and recovery, American families expect us to work together. They deserve cooperation." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Newsom highlighted the state’s ongoing work with local government agencies to provide emergency resources, temporary housing and longterm recovery support. Throughout the county, private-sector organizations and local government agencies are assisting with recovery, officials said. Efforts include low-cost preapproved plans, fast-tracking the permit process and doing the actual rebuilding of damaged or destroyed houses.

Newsom visited two organizations Thursday that are supported with funding from LA Rises, the philanthropic initiative spearheaded by Los Angeles Dodgers Chairman Mark Walter, Magic Johnson and LA28 President Casey Wasserman. The Foothill Catalog Foundation and Habitat for Humanity of the San Gabriel Valley help to provide preapproved rebuilding plans to fire survivors. The Foothill Catalog Foundation received $1 million from the LA Rises initiative, in partnership with the California Fire Foundation, to streamline the rebuilding process, according to Newsom's office. Two local architects founded the Pasadena-based nonprofit

organization after watching their neighbors’ homes burn in the Eaton Fire. The foundation offers low-cost, custom-designed plans to fire survivors, saving time and money on architectural and permitting fees. Currently 20 preapproved plans are ready for use in Altadena, and in January the foundation is preparing to launch a catalog of plans custom-designed and preapproved for Pacific Palisades. The grant from LA Rises also supports the foundation's program offering step-bystep assistance throughout the rebuilding process. In line with the several Newsom executive orders, local governments have enacted fast-tracked permit-

ting for fire rebuild projects, "eliminating unnecessary reviews and streamlining local processes," according to the governor's office. Local governments have received $4 million in state grants to increase agency staffing and resources to hasten construction timelines. "As a result, local agencies are processing permits with, on average, fewer than 30 days of local review time," Newsom's office reported. "The average time from application to permit issuance for rebuilding homes across these agencies is approximately 85 days, which includes time spent by homeowners and their design teams making revisions to bring their plans up to code."

After the meeting with planning experts at the Foothill Catalog Foundation, Habitat for Humanity of the San Gabriel Valley hosted Newsom at the worksite of a house in progress in Altadena. The site is using one of the foundation's preapproved plans and is scheduled for completion early next year. Habitat is currently building 25 new homes and repairing 12 in Altadena and has received $1.5 million in LA Rises funding through the California Fire Foundation. According to the governor's office, thousands of permits have been issued in Los Angeles County at a rate that is nearly three times the speed of processing prior to the fires. On average, local governments approve rebuilding permits in less than 90 days. Newsom also stopped at Gladstones, a landmark Pacific Palisades restaurant that sustained smoke damage. The restaurant was closed in the months following the fires and partially reopened in July, with a full indoor reopening planned for early 2026, according to published reports. Officials said $3.2 billion in fire recovery assistance has so far been approved from the U.S. Small Business Administration, and $144.2 million in individual assistance has been disbursed to residents. California lawmakers have passed laws to aid in the rebuilding and recovery efforts of Los Angeles, including bills to codify Newsom's executive orders, and legislation for Los Angeles fire survivors to receive mortgage relief and to provide fair interest for disaster-affected homeowners.
