Occupy Dallas and the city will be in court again Tuesday. The city wants to remove Occupy Dallas campers from behind City Hall – citing a breach of the agreed-upon permit. But before arguing that, Occupy Dallas attorney Jonathan Winocour will ask that the whole thing be moved to “state” court.
Winocour “We believe this case would be more properly heard by a state court judge given that the issues that have arisen as a result of the city’s allegations that Occupy Dallas is in breach of the settlement agreement are really issues that sound in state law.
Winocour says a “state” court needs to clarify what the agreement between the city and protesters actually demands.
The city claims protesters violated an agreement NOT to use City Hall bathrooms, and not to put-up permanent signs at the campsite: two of several breaches that could prompt eviction.
Judge Boyle could send the case to state court, or consider First Amendment arguments and rule herself on whether Occupy Dallas stays or goes.
Another influential North Texas legislator says he’s not running for re-election next year.
Republican Jerry Madden from Richardson told the Austin-American Statesman he’s leaving the state legislature to use his knowledge of the criminal justice system elsewhere.
