A RESOLUTION OF THE CI'Y COUNCIL OF TIE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING
THE CREATION OF A UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURTROOM I'ACILITY IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the Central District of California ranks twenty-
second in geographical size among the present ninety-three United
States District Courts; and
WHEREAS, it is the only district among the first
seventy-seven in geographical size to have only a single court-
room 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 California 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 general way, a relationship to population
and the number of civil filings; and
WHEREAS, the difficulty of getting to the present Court-
house 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 adequate
parking facilities near the present Courthouse makes an additional
courtroom location desirable; and
WHEREAS, the above factors indicate the requirement and
desirability of an additional courtroom facility in an additional
District of California; and
WHEREAS, the 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 San Juan Capistrano urges the creation of a United
States District Courtroom facility or Courtroom facilities in the
soon-to-be constructed Federal Building in Santa Ana, California.
