Lawsuit Status: An issue of "standing"

The judge raised the questions of "Standing" . Parks says community groups have no standing as they are not an injured party and "quality of life" doesn't count. Our lawyer cited a case, but the judge said it was special (environmental). Also, he tossed out the assertion that Milkshake Co. was late in submitting info, since that particular item is negotiated with city who requested more info.

The judge stressed that Parks has alot of descretionary power and the case rests on the MUSTS -- not the MAYs.

The Friends' lawyer got a continuence until today when it gets decided.
