On
June 22, DC Superior Court ruled in favor of Crispus Attucks Development
Corporation in its case against Marvin Rich. The court issued a preliminary
injunction against Mr. Rich and ordered Mr. Rich and his associates to cease
and desist from making any claims whatsoever to anyone regarding Crispus
Attucks Development Corporation or the Crispus Attucks Park; and to cease and
desist from publishing in any medium, including the Internet, any false
statements about Crispus Attucks Development Corporation or its President that
place Crispus Attucks Development Corporation, its President, or any of its
Members in a false light.
CADC`s
case against Mr. Rich is not finished yet, but this preliminary injunction is a
giant first step in putting to rest Mr. Rich`s false claims of any involvement
with the park and is a positive step toward ending Mr. Rich`s harassment of the
neighbors around Crispus Attucks Park. CADC will issue a more complete
statement after the final resolution of the court case.
This
decision, while entirely expected given the complete lack of evidence to
support Mr. Rich`s claims, is fantastic news for the Bloomingdale community.
The
Board would like to thank Bloomingdale for its outpouring of support for the
park--this event has truly helped to unite the community. CADC looks forward to working with all members
of the community to ensure that Crispus Attucks Park will be a positive and
unifying part of the community.
