(Abatti vs. the IID)...It is not over, yet.

The California Supreme Court recently denied Abatti's petition to overturn the decision of th $th Circuit Court of Appeal. The State Court rejected the petition saying, in essence, that agreed with the Appeals court. Michael Abatti originally sued the Imperial Irrigation District over water rights issues. The Imperial County Superior Court agreed with Abatti. The IID appealed, and the appellate court said the Superior Court was wrong in most of it's decision. After being rejected by the State Supreme Court, Abatti filed a petition Monday with the US Supreme Court. Abatti now has until January 28 to submit a petition showing how his case could set water law precedent and why it is a federal matter.
