The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, in a recent case, the City of Pacifica was
found liable for injuries suffered by a woman who was attacked by
her husband, and
WHEREAS, in that case, the United States Ninth Circuit

immunity traditionally afforded police officers in their decision
to arrest or not to arrest, and
WHEREAS, if this case were allowed to stand, it would
open the door to a flood of litigation against cities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby authorize the City to join in
the amicus brief in support of the City of Pacifica in
Ballestrieri v. City of Pacifica.
