In the Sacramento case of Doe v. Schwarzenegger (not to be confused with the San Francisco case of the same name), USDC Judge Lawrence Karlton mostly denied a temporary restraining order Friday afternoon. Attorneys for the Governor/CDCR, AG, and DA all said they interpreted the residency restriction of Prop. 83 to apply only to future convictions. This was apparently contrary to a pre-election letter sent out to parolees. Judge Karlton issued a very limited order saying that the defendants could not take any action that would force the plaintiff to move without prior notice to him and the court. This is not a class action, so the order does not apply to anyone else. He denied any order relating to GPS monitoring, as no one has sought or stated an intention to seek such monitoring of the plaintiff under Prop. 83. As a parolee, he is already subject to monitoring under prior law.
