Subject: TRO: Khan
Hello Ms. Magdich,
I intend on filing an application for an ex parte TRO in the Eastern District of California this week to stop
the filling of Mr. Khan's District Council seat in Lodi.
I am again asking if the City of Lodi will refrain from filling Mr. Khan's Council seat?
Likewise, I am asking if the City of Lodi will allow Mr. Khan to continue to perform his functions as a duly
elected Council member?
Absent an agreement in the affirmative to both questions listed above, a temporary restraining order is
necessary to preserve my client's and voters' Constitutional Rights.
Please advise as to your availability next week for a hearing and I will do my level best to accommodate
your schedule. Obviously, a hearing needs to occur at least a day before the scheduled Lodi City Council
self created decision date of March 29, 2023.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Regards,
Allen Sawyer
