Texans Make Malibu Lot Line Issue A Federal Case
Written by 991KBU on August 8, 2018
A Texas couple makes a Latigo Canyon property dispute into a federal case.
The Texans own a house on Ocean View Drive … up the hill from Latigo Canyon Road in th Malibu Bowl.
They accuse their next door neighbors of building a deck … that extends onto their property.
David Sacks and Deana Sacks filed a complaint twp weeks ago in the U.S. District Court .
They allege their neighbors are trespassing and creating a nuisance.
A report in a court newspaper … the Northern California Record … says the Texas couple use the home as a vacation house.
They had their lot line surveyed … and marked.
The defendants alleged excavated the property and removed the survey monument and markers.
The defendants allegedly have unpermitted structures … which violate L A County setback rules.
As Texas residents … the plaintiffs are allowed to file suit on a local matter in federal court … although a simple property dispute is usually handled in state courts.
And filing a lawsuit does not mean the facts alleged are true…
No response has been reported.
