A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH REQUESTING THE CREATION OF
A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTROOM FACILITY
IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks
twenty- second in geographical size among the present ninety -
three United States District Courts; and
WHEREAS, it is the only district among the first
seventy -seven in geographical size to have only a single
courtroom location; and
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks
sixth of the ninety -three United States Court Districts in the
number of civil case filings; and
WHEREAS, the population encompassed within the
Central District of California is the largest among the ninety-
three United States Court Districts; and
WHEREAS, it is probable that criminal filings are
likely to bear, at least in a general way, a relationship to
population and the number of civil filings; and
WHEREAS, the difficult access to the present Court-
house in Los Angeles from the outlying Counties, such as Orange,
Riverside and San Bernardino, due in part to heavy freeway
congestion and due in part to the complete lack of adequate
parking facilities near the present Courthouse makes an addi-
tional courtroom location desirable; and
WHEREAS, the above factors indicate the requirement
and desirability of an additional courtroom facility in an
additional District of California; and
WHEREAS, the location of such an additional facility
at SantaoAna in Orange County would be much more accessible,
i
convenient and desirable, not only for Orange County litigants,
attorneys, witnesses and jurors, but also to most of such
persons residing in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
-1-
r_
of the City of Newport Beach urges the creation of a United
States District Courtroom facility or Courtroom facilities
in the soon -to -be constructed Federal Building in Santa Ana,
California.
