Coto de Caza DUI Collision Lawsuit Notes
December
12, 2007
Case
No 05CC02855 involves a traffic accident that occurred
September 22, 2004 at the intersection of Vista del
Verde and Mackenzie Lane (undisputed fact).
The defendant was visiting Coto de Caza as a
guest of Coto de Caza Gold Club, having earlier
participated in a golf tournament (undisputed fact).
CZ Master Association and Keystone are included
in the list of the defendants.
The
case includes statements form the CZ Master
Association to the effect that “On
October 1, 2003, the Orange County Board of
Supervisors voted to hire ten new Sheriff deputies and
two supervisors to patrol the unincorporated portions
of South Orange County, including Coto de Caza.
Based on the action of the Orange County Board
of Supervisors and assurances from the Orange County
Sheriff that it would provide increased patrols of
Coto de Caza, CZ Master terminated its contract with
the CHP and substituted the services of the Orange
County Sheriff to enforce traffic in Coto”
The
CHP contract was terminated on January 2004
(undisputed fact).
On September 22, 2004, the defendant was
traveling well over the speed limit with a blood
alcohol level of at least 0.13%, struck the front
driver’s side of plaintiff (undisputed fact).

Skendarian
lawsuit details- Varo Should Resign
Hi
Joe:
We
are still trying to figure out how the Sheriff’s
statement substitution for the CHP fits in.
Recall that it is only recently the Orange
County Board of Supervisors repealed an ordinance that
made it legal for the Sheriff to effect traffic
patrol in Coto.
Obviously, that was the Association’s defense. Firing the CHP was probably cited as the basis of the plaintiff’s case against CZ especially since Varo stated publicly at Board meeting that they were firing the CHP because club members were concerned about being cited for DUI’s coming out of the club. CZ probably argued that the Sheriff was a substitute making the CHP unnecessary. What other case could they have argued? JM
Joe:
My guess is that they tried to make the case anyway; based on some delusional idea in Varo’s head about the Sheriff actually patrolling in Coto. We heard that song a few months ago again from Varo; yet has anyone seen any Sheriff’s black and whites and I don’t mean those in transit to get to Wagon Wheel? JM
Hi Joe:
We
know how many CHP enforcement hours per month are
applied to Coto
de Caza, on any given month, any given year.
We even know the number of citations/enforceme nt
hour.
However,
since the first round was shot stating the “Sheriff
is coming, the Sheriff is coming”,
then shot again every six months or so, we have
estimated that the Sheriff enforcement hours in Coto
de Caza (for traffic patrol) have been
negligible, if at all.
We
have asked Lt. Griffin and Sheriff spokesperson Jim
Amormino to confirm the enforcement hours allocated to
Coto
de Caza since 2002 – no response to date.
