Ellison Law: CCTA v. CARB Updates

On November 15, we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in federal court seeking to put the Truck and Bus Regulation on hold at least until the Court can rule on our summary judgment motion. We explained to the court that because many members have to make crucial and costly business decisions by January 1, 2012, we need to know prior to that date whether the CARB rule requiring tens of thousands of dollars of capital investment per truck, will actually be allowed to take effect.  Our filing included a Notice of Motion and Motion for Preliminary Injunction, eight declarations, and a request for judicial notice. The request for judicial notice asks the court to take notice of both the Initial Statement of Reasons from CARB and the recently posted Final Statement of Reasons. There is a hearing set for December 15, 2011.
