FACTS AND LIABILITY:I went out to the area and photographed
the scene. The area in question does not appear to be in the
City of Moorpark, but rather the City of Simi Valley. I
therefore see no liability on the City of Moorpark.
COMMENTS: I will send a letter to the attorney advising him
that the accident occurred within the City of Simi Valley and
not within the City of Moorpark. I will remind them of the
portion of the Code of Civil Procedures in which we will be
able to recover our costs of defense should they file suit.
Should you have any further questions with regard to this
matter, please feel free to call.
Very truly yours,
CARL WARREN & COMPANY
