Parties to two law suits filed in July against a planned Dollar General store in Joshua Tree met in court in San Bernardino Thursday. Activist David Fick said a morning meeting was concerned only with setting a date—January 17—for when legal briefs are to be filed with the court. Trials, if it comes to that, will follow at some subsequent date to be determined. During Thursday afternoon, there were also separate settlement conferences for each suit. No settlements were reached. Both suits, one filed by Joshua Tree Community Action Network, formerly known as the Joshua Tree Downtown Business Alliance, and the other by Joshua Tree resident Keri Tuttle, depend upon environmental grounds, with Tuttle’s suit focused more on elements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
