As many of you are aware, a lawsuit was filed against the CLPOA on December 28, 2021. Based upon a Court Order issued on January 31, 2022, CLPOA was not to conduct elections until “such time as this Action is fully and finally adjudicated on the merits.” The CLPOA has been directed to accomplish an election by January 31st, 2023. This change was part of a recent status conference with Judge Eamon Costello. Please note that the timeline is condensed to achieve a completed election by January 31st, 2023. Your patience and continued understanding is greatly appreciated while the CLPOA BoT works through this timeline to provide an election within the guidance of the Constitution and Judge’s order.
