Federal court declines to modify SF ban on clearing encampments while appeal pending

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:28:07 GMT

(BCN) -- A panel of federal appellate judges Tuesday left in place a lower court order that bars San Francisco from using the city's laws against sleeping on the streets to prosecute people who are involuntarily homeless. The short 93-word order resolves, at least for the time being, the city's motion to modify the lower court injunction while the city pursues its appeal of that ruling. The appeals court said its decision was "without prejudice," meaning the city can renew the motion at a later date if circumstances warrant. While both sides characterized the ruling as helpful to their positions, the order appears to kick the most contentious issues down the road for later resolution. Owners of Oakland group homes slapped with lawsuit The case arises from a lawsuit filed against the city in September 2022 by the Coalition on Homelessness, an advocacy group, and a number of individuals, including several who have experienced homelessness. On Dec. 23, 2022, Chief Magistrate Jud...
