A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
REQUESTING THE CREATION OF A UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURTROOM FACILITY IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA.
1vI
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks twenty-second in geo-
graphical sine among the present ninety-three United States District Courts;and
WHEREAS, it is the only District among the first seventy-seven in geogra-
phical size to have only a single courtroom location; and
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks sixth of the ninety-three
United States Court Districts in the number of civil case filings; and
WHEREAS, the population encompassed within the Central District of Califor-
nia is the largest among the ninety-three United States Court Districts; and
WHEREAS, it is probable that criminal filings are likely to bear, at least
in a wily, a relationship to population and the number of civil filings; and
WHEREAS, the difficulty of getting to the present Courthouse in Los Angeles
from the outlying Counties, such as Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, due
in part to heavy freeway congestion and due in part to the complete lack of ade-
quate parking facilities near the present Courthouse makes an additional court-
room location desirable; and
WHEREAS, the above factors indicate the requirement and desirability of
o additional courtroom facility in the Central District of California; and
UERE S, rhe location of such an additional facility at Santa Ana in Orange
County would be much more accessible, convenient and desirable, not only for
Orange County litigants, attorneys, witnesses and jurors, but also to most of
such persons residing in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Cypress
urges the creation of a United States District Courtroom facility or Courtroom
facilities in the soon-to-be constructed Federal Building in Santa Ana, Cali-
fornia.
