Judge denies couple's restraining order to keep up Thornton State Beach fence
"We also have exclusive new video of the tensions out there, and a surprise call from a wanted felon who put up that fence, Luke Brugnara. Stephen Rose, an attorney for one of the land owners, told the San Francisco Real Estate Court judge, "That fence is a disaster. It's waste on the property, violates the Coastal Act." The controversy over the fence that blocks public paths to Thornton State Beach has reached San Francisco Real Estate Court."
"Brugnara is a wanted felon for failing to appear in a federal case over pandemic relief fraud, so he didn't appear in court. Wen did. She told the judge, "Today, I am asking for TRO is to solely to temporary stop Daly City to taking down my legal fence that's on my property to protect me from inevitable harm." But the judge denied Wen's request for a temporary restraining order, and asked for briefs on other issues for a hearing next month."
A fence installed by Yitong Emily Wen and partner Luke Brugnara is blocking public paths to Thornton State Beach in Daly City. The couple sought an emergency restraining order to halt Daly City's planned removal. Brugnara, wanted for failing to appear in a federal pandemic relief fraud case, did not appear in court; Wen attended and requested a TRO claiming the fence protects her from inevitable harm. Daly City contends the fence sits on the public right of way, violates the Coastal Act, and was illegally installed. The judge denied the TRO and ordered briefs ahead of a hearing next month.
