PLAINTIFFS’ SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM; Case No. CV-13-3663-CRB
Case3:13-cv-03663-CRB Document75 Filed09/13/13 Page2 of 10
1
At the September 12, 2013 hearing in this action, the Court invited the parties to submit
2
supplemental briefing on the question of whether the Court has the discretion to hold this case in
3
abeyance, assuming that the Court found that Plaintiffs’ claims are unripe at this time. The answer
4
to the Court’s question is yes, the Court has the discretion to hold all of Plaintiffs’ claims in
5
abeyance if the Court were to deem them unripe at this time.
6
Defendants’ arguments and the Court’s stated concerns with respect to Plaintiffs’ claims go
7
to the issue of prudential ripeness, which, in contrast to the “case or controversy” requirements of
8
Article III of the United States Constitution, is discretionary and not jurisdictional.
9
Federal courts evaluate two components of ripeness: “constitutional ripeness and prudential
10
ripeness.” Educ. Credit Mgmt. Corp. v. Coleman (In re Coleman), 560 F.3d 1000, 1005 (9th Cir.
11
2009). “The constitutional ripeness of a declaratory judgment action depends upon whether the facts
12
alleged, under all the circumstances, show that there is a substantial controversy, between parties
13
having adverse legal interests, of sufficient immediacy and reality to warrant the issuance of a
14
declaratory judgment.” U.S. v. Braren, 338 F.3d 971, 975 (9th Cir. 2003) (internal quotation
15
omitted). The prudential ripeness inquiry, on the other hand, focuses on two separate considerations:
16
“the fitness of the issues for judicial decision and the hardship to the parties of withholding court
17
consideration.” Wolfson v. Brammer, 616 F.3d 1045, 1060 (9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Abbott Labs. v.
18
Gardner, 387 U.S. 136, 149 (1967)). The distinction between constitutional and prudential ripeness
19
is critical: “While Article III ripeness is jurisdictional, ‘[p]rudential considerations of ripeness are
20
discretionary....’” McClung v. City of Sumner, 548 F.3d 1219, 1224 (9th Cir. 2008), abrogated on
21
other grounds by Koontz vs. St Johns River Water Management Dist., 133 S. Ct 2586 (US 2013);
22
Thomas v. Anchorage Equal Rights Comm'n, 220 F.3d 1134, 1142 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc).
23
Defendants’ ripeness argument in this case is premised on the assertion that their Loan
24
Seizure Program “rests upon contingent future events” – specifically, the Richmond City Council’s
25
passage of a Resolution of Necessity. See Prelim. Inj. Opp. Br. at 5 (quoting Texas v. U.S., 523 U.S.
26
296, 300 (1998)); Mtn. to Dismiss Br., at 3 (same); Mtn. to Dismiss Reply Br., at 3 (same).
27
Although Defendants characterize their argument as an Article III issue, the actual case law upon
28
which they principally rely, Texas v. United States, proves otherwise, specifically analyzing the
1
PLAINTIFFS’ SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM; Case No. CV-13-3663-CRB
Case3:13-cv-03663-CRB Document75 Filed09/13/13 Page3 of 10
1
“contingent event” question in assessing “the fitness of the issues for judicial decision.” Texas v.
2
United States, 523 U.S. 296, 301 (1998); see Prelim. Inj. Opp. Br., at 5. The “fitness for judicial
3
determination” question is an issue of prudential ripeness, not whether there is a case or controversy
4
under Article III. 616 F.3d at 1060 (prudential ripeness turns upon “the fitness of the issues for judicial
5
decision and the hardship to the parties of withholding court consideration.”).
6
Numerous federal courts have held cases in abeyance as a procedural response to ripeness
7
concerns premised, as in this case, on arguments that the claims at bar depend upon a “contingent
8
future event” of further anticipated government decision-making. These courts have recognized that,
9
because such contingent events raise prudential ripeness concerns, not whether there is an actual
10
“case or controversy” under Article III, the appropriate exercise of discretion is to hold the pending
11
case in abeyance rather than dismiss it. In a recent decision, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
12
explained the reasoning for holding such cases in abeyance in words that echo the concerns
13
identified by this Court at the September 12, 2013 hearing: “[D]eclining jurisdiction over a dispute
14
while there is still time for the challenging party to ‘convince the agency to alter a tentative position’
15
provides the agency ‘an opportunity to correct its own mistakes and to apply its expertise,’
16
potentially eliminating the need for (and costs of) judicial review.” API v. EPA, 683 F.3d 382, 389
17
(D.C. Cir. 2012); compare 9/12/13 Tr., at 17 (“If you could be successful persuading the Council not
18
to go forward on this, even at the last minute, isn’t that a better way than having the Court jump in,
19
into basically a somewhat-novel [government program]”).
20
The D.C. Circuit in API ordered that the case – which it had deemed unripe as a prudential
21
matter – be held in abeyance, “subject to regular reports from EPA on its status,” in order to “protect
22
against the unlikely and the unpredictable,” so that “if the rulemaking takes an unforeseen turn, we
23
can reassess whether the dispute has ripened at that time.” API, 683 F.3d at 387. Similarly, and
24
consistent with the Ninth Circuit’s explanation that issues of prudential ripeness are inherently
25
discretionary rather than jurisdictional, other courts have held that “a claim may be unripe in the
26
prudential sense (as here) without necessarily being constitutionally defective to a degree that it
27
deprives a court of subject matter jurisdiction. In such cases, unripe claims may be stayed rather
28

1
than dismissed entirely.” Pardee v. Consumer Portfolio Servs., Inc., 344 F.Supp.2d 823, 833 (D.R.I.
2
2004) (emphasis added).
3
Indeed, the federal court of appeals that most regularly adjudicates the ripeness of claims
4
challenging governmental agency actions – the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
5
Circuit – has repeatedly affirmed the propriety of holding cases in abeyance where the ripeness of
6
such claims has been deemed contingent upon further governmental decision-making:
7
•
In API, the opinion discussed above, the court held in abeyance an unripe challenge to a
8
non-final EPA rule deregulating hazardous materials, “subject to regular reports from EPA
9
on its status.”
10
•
In Wheaton College v. Sebelius, 703 F.3d 551, 553 (D.C. Cir. 2012), the D.C. Circuit held
11
that a challenge to the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that health insurance providers
12
cover certain contraceptives was unripe, and as a result held that case in abeyance,
13
requiring the government to file “regular status reports” every 60 days in order for the court
14
to monitor the implementation of the challenged requirements.
15
•
In CTIA-The Wireless Association v. Federal Communications Commission, 530 F.3d 984
16
(D.C. Cir. 2008), the D.C. Circuit determined that a challenge to a Federal
17
Communications Commission rule was not ripe for review until the rule received the
18
approval of the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) following the submission of
19
substantial information from industry participants and the public, all of which was required
20
by the terms of the rule before it would take effect. Rather than dismissing the action for
21
lack of jurisdiction, the Circuit Court ruled that the appropriate course was for the action to
22
be held in “in abeyance pending OMB’s action” regarding the rule. Id. at 989.
23
•
In Devia v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 492 F.3d 421, 426 (D.C. Cir. 2007), the D.C.
24
Circuit similarly held in abeyance an unripe challenge to a Nuclear Regulatory
25
Commission rule that remained subject to approval by the Board of Indian Affairs.
26
27
•
In Blumenthal v. FERC, Nos. 03-1066, 03-1075, 2003 WL 21803316, at *1 (D.C. Cir. July
31, 2003), the D.C. Circuit held an unripe challenge to Federal Energy Regulatory

1
Commission’s approval of a pipeline in abeyance, pending the resolution of an
2
administrative challenge to Connecticut’s rejection of a required certification.
3
Precisely as Defendants argue in this action, these cases all involved “contingent future events”
4
dependent upon the anticipated but not yet final decision of a government agency. And, despite the
5
determination by the courts in those cases that the pending claims at bar were unripe because they
6
could be impacted by a “contingent future event,” the cases were all stayed rather than dismissed given
7
the discretionary nature of the prudential ripeness analysis. 1
8
The Court’s expressed concerns based on the “contingent future event” of Richmond’s
9
adopting a resolution of necessity properly fall within the rubric of prudential ripeness rather than
10
Article III standing. Plaintiffs’ claims satisfy Article III’s basic requirement of an actual “case and
11
controversy between parties having adverse legal interests.” Hulteen v. AT&T Corp., 498 F.3d 1001,
12
1004 (9th Cir. 2007). Under the Declaratory Judgment Act, there is no requirement that the “final
13
step” be taken and injury sustained before a justiciable Article III controversy exists. Medimmune, Inc.
14
v. Genentech, Inc., 549 U.S. 118, 128 (2007). The test, as summarized by the Supreme Court, is
15
“whether the facts alleged, under all the circumstances, show that there is a substantial controversy
16
between parties having adverse legal interests of sufficient immediacy and reality to warrant the
17
issuance of a declaratory judgment.” Id. at 127. In numerous cases, courts have concluded that Article
18
III’s “case or controversy” requirement was met, even though contingent future events rendered the
19
case not “fit for decision” on prudential ripeness grounds, including the cases described above that
20
were held in abeyance for that reason. For example, in New York Civil Liberties Union v. Grandeau,
21
528 F.3d 122 (2d. Cir. 2008), then Second Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor addressed the ripeness of a
22
challenge by the New York Civil Liberties Union (“NYCLU”) against a New York state lobbying
23
regulation, requiring the reporting of certain lobbying expenses, after the NYCLU was sent a letter
24
1
25
26
27
28
Other federal courts have also exercised their discretion to stay the action, or hold it in abeyance, in
various types of unripe cases. See Pardee, 344 F.Supp.2d at 839 (staying indemnification claims
pending the outcome of separate lawsuits where underlying liability claims were being litigated, since
indemnification claims did not ripe prior to judgment in other lawsuits); Puricelli v. Borough of
Morrisville, 820 F.Supp. 908, 919 (E.D. Pa.1993) (staying a federal due process claim that was “not
‘ripe for adjudication’” because of the Third Circuit’s “preference for ‘holding federal civil rights
claim in abeyance until state appellate proceedings that may affect the outcome of the federal action
are decided.” (citing Linnen v. Armainis, 991 F.2d 1102, 1107 (3d Cir.1993)).

Case3:13-cv-03663-CRB Document75 Filed09/13/13 Page6 of 10
1
requiring it to report expenses for a billboard advertisement under the regulation. The Court explained
2
that the challenge to the regulation was not yet prudentially ripe, because it “would certainly benefit
3
from additional factual development and is in many ways contingent on future events,” including a
4
formal inquiry by the state into NCLU’s lobbying activity, and additional clarity from the state agency
5
on the meaning of the regulations. Id. at 133. But the Court concluded that the case was ripe for
6
Article III purposes because the new and still developing regulation could infringe on the NYCLU’s
7
constitutional rights and impose administrative burdens and expenses, thereby creating a “‘concrete
8
dispute affecting cognizable current concerns of the parties’ sufficient to satisfy standing and
9
constitutional ripeness.” Id. at 131 (citing Ehrenfeld v. Mahfouz, 489 F.3d 542, 546 (2d Cir. 2007)).
10
Here, the City has indisputably adopted a program to acquire the Plaintiff Trusts’ loans by
11
eminent domain. That program was adopted by a 6-0 vote of the City Council in April 2013, and the
12
loan offers made by Defendants to Plaintiffs include an explicit threat that the property will be seized
13
forcibly if Plaintiffs do not sell “voluntarily” (as previously explained to the Court, there is no reason
14
for Defendants to have made the offers than to meet the requirements for eminent domain seizure,
15
because they knowingly are targeting performing loans that cannot legally be voluntarily sold). The
16
City Council reaffirmed the program at its September 10 meeting, during which the council voted 5-2
17
to reject a proposal to withdraw the offers and abandon eminent domain.
18
Specifically in the context of challenges to eminent domain seizures, the Supreme Court and
19
other lower courts have confirmed that there is no requirement that a plaintiff wait until the final public
20
act necessary to initiate a seizure before filing a declaratory judgment action in federal court. See, e.g.,
21
Hawaii v. Midkiff, 467 U.S. 229, 234 (1984) (suit ripe for adjudication after “compulsory
22
negotiations,” a statutory prerequisite step to condemnation, had occurred, despite the fact that
23
“compulsory arbitration,” the next prerequisite step, had not); Regional Railroad Reorganization Act
24
Cases, 419 U.S. 102, 142 (1974) (holding that a victim of an unconstitutional eminent domain process
25
does “not have to await the consummation of threatened injury to obtain preventive relief” (emphasis
26
added)); 99 Cents Only Stores v Lancaster Redevelopment Agency, 237 F. Supp. 2d 1123, 1128 (C.D.
27
Cal. 2001) (holding that action to enjoin eminent domain program was justiciable, despite rescission of
28
Resolutions of Necessity by the city) aff’d in relevant part, appeal dismissed on mootness grounds due

to changed facts, 60 Fed. Appx. 123 (9th Cir. 2003); Chertkof v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore,
2
497 F. Supp. 1252, 1256 (D. Md. 1980) (exercising jurisdiction over case in which the municipality
3
had drawn up an urban renewal plan that included property owned by the plaintiff and sought to have
4
the property appraised, because “objective evidence does indicate a real threat of condemnation,”
5
notwithstanding the City’s claim, like in this action, that it was just negotiating). The hypothetical
6
chance that the City will abandon its program before the final act of a resolution of necessity
7
(suggested by the Defendants on the basis of the Council’s 4-3 vote on September 10 adopting a
8
resolution stating that yet another City Council vote will take place before loans are seized), goes only
9
to arguable concerns of prudential ripeness. 2
10
Plaintiffs’ reliance on Rule 12(h)(3) is therefore misplaced, as that rule applies only to cases
11
where there is no Article III standing. It does not apply to cases such as this one implicating the
12
discretionary question of prudential ripeness. See White & Case LLP v. United States, 67 Fed. Cl. 164,
13
168 (Fed. Cl. 2005) (“[S]ince the specific ripeness argument focuses on the lack of a ‘final agency
14
action,’ which has been held to come within the prudential branch of Supreme Court ripeness
15
jurisprudence in analogous situations, the Court concludes that subject matter jurisdiction is not an
16
issue.”) (citing Suitum v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 520 U.S. 725, 733-34 (1997) (absence of
17
final decision regarding application of development rights regulation in a regulatory Takings claim was
18
a matter of prudential, not constitutional, ripeness)).
19
Finally, the need for Plaintiffs’ claims to be held in abeyance, rather than dismissed, is
20
especially acute. Defendants have repeatedly refused to agree to defer the initiation of their intended
21
state court “Quick Take” suit, which they plan to file immediately after issuing their resolution of
22
necessity, until this Court has an opportunity to adjudicate Plaintiffs’ federal constitutional claims, and
23
Plaintiffs have argued that this Court would lack authority to adjudicate the issue once their state court
24
condemnation action is filed. See Docket 32, p. 12. Cf. 99 Cents Only Stores, 237 F. Supp. 2d at 1128
25

26
27
28
As counsel for Plaintiffs explained to the Court at the September 12, 2013 oral argument, there were
numerous admissions made by Richmond City officials at the September 10-11 City Council hearing
(would lasted roughly seven hours and continued until the wee hours of the morning) showing that the
Seizure Program is not “hypothetical” as Defendants have claimed to the Court, but far along and on
the last verge of moving to seize loans. To the extent the Court were inclined to find a lack of Article
III standing without the benefit of this new information, Plaintiffs would ask the Court for leave to
prepare and submit a transcript of the Council hearing.

(justiciability “heavily” supported by fact that city “persistently refused to enter into any stipulation
2
agreeing not to condemn 99 Cents’ leasehold interest at Costco’s behest”). Holding Plaintiffs’ claims
3
in abeyance would ensure that Plaintiffs have full opportunity to litigate the facial illegality and
4
unconstitutionality of the program before the City can irreversibly extinguish the loans, as the Quick
5
Take proceeding does not provide a sufficient forum for Plaintiffs’ serious constitutional and other
6
objections to be addressed, nor sufficient protection against the irreparable harm the Defendant’s
7
Seizure Program will cause if allowed to proceed.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Court should not dismiss this case, but instead should hold it in
10
abeyance. Further, although we believe the Court can retain this case notwithstanding its ripeness
11
concerns, should the Court elect to dismiss the case, it should provide leave to amend. Leave to
12
amend shall be liberally provided. See FRCP 15(a)(2) (“The court should freely give leave [to
13
amend] when justice so requires.”); Eminence Capital, LLC v. Aspeon, Inc., 316 F.3d 1048, 1051
14
(9th Cir. 2003) (the policy favoring amendment of complaint is “to be applied with extreme
15
liberality”) (citing Owens v. Kaiser Found. Health Plan, Inc., 244 F.3d 708, 712 (9th Cir.
16
2001)). As noted in Plaintiffs’ reply brief, Plaintiffs intend to amend the complaint to provide
17
additional grounds for relief, including preemption. In light of the rapid pace of developments, some
18
of the bases for amendment are actions subsequent to the filing of the Complaint, including the
19
opinion of the General Counsel of the Federal Housing and Finance Agency that the Seizure
20
Program presents “the conflict of federal and state interests,” see Federal Housing Finance Agency,
21
General Counsel Memorandum: Summary of Comments and Additional Analysis Regarding Input
22

23
at http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/25418/GCMemorandumEminentDomain.pdf. Assuming arguendo
24
that the Court is not willing to hold the case in abeyance as the prudential ripeness issues develop,
25
the Court could determine that preemption and other potential amendments are not premised on a
26
resolution of necessity, or any other future act. Further, Plaintiffs should have the opportunity to
27
plead the numerous facts relating to the ripeness issue that have occurred since the close of the

If the Court were inclined to dismiss the action, it should also, in the alternative, condition any
dismissal upon a requirement that the Defendants provide thirty days’ notice to the Plaintiffs prior to
filing any condemnation action, whether in an action brought by the City of Richmond alone or
through a Joint Powers Authority. Courts have exercised their discretion to place conditions on a
dismissal where the party seeking dismissal will use the dismissal to its advantage. Carijano v.
Occidental Petroleum Corp., 643 F.3d 1216 (9th Cir. 2011) (district court abused its discretion by
failing to condition its dismissal on defendant’s waiver of any statute of limitations defenses available
in Peru when it dismissed, where defendants’ statements indicated that it would move to dismiss the
suit based on the Peruvian statute of limitations); see also Leetsch v. Freedman, 260 F.3d 1100, 1103–

reason to doubt that a party will cooperate. . .”); Gutierrez v. Advanced Medical Optic, 640 F.3d 1025,
