Context note

The 2025 Court of Appeal opinion identifies Hanson Bridgett, Ellis F. Raskin and Jillian Ames as counsel for plaintiff/appellant Friends and Families for MOVE Culver City. Hanson Bridgett identifies Raskin as a partner and Santa Monica councilmember. The Westside Cities Council of Governments roster updated August 2026 identifies Raskin as Santa Monica's alternate, Dan Hall as Santa Monica's delegate, Freddy Puza as Culver City's delegate, and Bryan Fish as Culver City's alternate. These are separate direct professional and governmental relationships. Their temporal overlap does not establish coordination, shared policy positions, or any relationship between the Culver City litigation and Santa Monica project decisions beyond the documented roles.
