Latourelle v. Glendora Police Dept. CA2/4
This appeal arises out of a dispute between a homeowner, appellant Joe Latourelle, and a water company, Cienega Springs Water Company, Inc. (CSWC) over unpaid water bills. CSWC filed a lawsuit against appellant and he cross-complained against CSWC, the Glendora Police Department (GPD), and affiliated individuals. In his cross-complaint, appellant alleged that over the course of about a month in 2014, individuals acting on behalf of CSWC trespassed repeatedly onto his property and damaged his water system; appellant further contended that these individuals were accompanied and assisted by GPD officers. This appeal concerns the claims against the GPD and its officers. The trial court sustained successive demurrers as to these claims and ultimately dismissed them without leave to amend.
We conclude that appellant has adequately alleged a claim for civil rights violations pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983.
