  • In New Court Ruling, FTR Prevails Again Against Los Angeles Community College District

    IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE

    On June 6, 2012, the Superior Court of the State of California issued a new Notice of Entry of Interlocutory Judgment Granting Peremptory Writ of Mandate against the Los Angeles Community College District.

    Judge Jane L. Johnson of the Los Angeles County Superior Court of California has issued an interlocutory judgment ordering the Board of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) (a) to set aside its February 8, 2012 decision finding that FTR International, Inc. and Nizar Katbi were non-responsible contractors and debarring them from bidding, contracting, subcontracting or performing work for LACCD.  Judge Johnson also directed the LACCD to reverse its finding that FTR International, Inc. and Nizar Katbi were non-responsible bidders on the Math & Science Complex at East Los Angeles College.  In addition, the judge prohibited LACCD from attempting to debar FTR or Mr. Katbi on the basis of the previously prosecuted Counts One and Two in which LACCD wrongfully accused FTR and Mr. Katbi of making false statements.

    FTR and Mr. Katbi have filed a lawsuit against LACCD’s Board seeking damages and other relief for their unlawful debarment efforts and for the violation of their constitutional rights.  The action is currently pending before Judge Johnson in Los Angeles Superior Court.
