H.T.L. Properties, LLC v. Speck CA2/2
This litigation arises out of a dispute between certain entities and individuals concerning the use of a large electronic sign in the City of Long Beach to advertise car dealerships in the area. When plaintiffs and appellants H.T.L. Properties, LLC (HTL Properties) and HTL Automotive, Inc. (HTL Automotive), were denied use of the sign, they filed a lawsuit against defendants and respondents James Speck (Speck), Circle Automotive Group, Inc. (Circle Auto), and Electra Media, Inc. (EMI), claiming that defendants wrongfully denied them use of the sign. Defendants successfully moved for summary judgment and were awarded attorney fees and costs. HTL Properties and HTL Automotive appealed the trial court’s order granting summary judgment, and on May 4, 2021, we dismissed HTL Automotive’s appeal because it was not in good standing with the Franchise Tax Board and affirmed the judgment against HTL Properties.
