Full summary

On May 8, 2026, the City Attorney referred a matter to the Budget and Finance Committee stemming from Eugenie M. Norman v. City of Los Angeles, et al., a case pending in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. 23STCV24377). The City Attorney submitted a report dated April 24, 2026 (Report R26-0245) in connection with claim C23-67930. While the exact nature of the underlying claim is not specified in the available documents, such files typically involve either a demand for settlement, an adverse judgment requiring payment, or a recommended resolution of pending litigation that requires City Council authorization to disburse funds from the general fund or insurance reserve. The file was formally referred to the Budget and Finance Committee, which is the standard procedural route for all litigation settlements and claims against the City. The committee must review the City Attorney's recommendation, assess the financial impact, and determine whether to approve settlement or claim payment before the matter can be brought to the full City Council for a final vote. As of May 8, 2026, the file remains open and pending in committee. The two-year expiration date of May 8, 2028, is standard for such litigation-related matters and allows adequate time for committee deliberation and council action. No committee hearing date or recommendation has yet been recorded.
