`
`ORDER ON MOTION TO QUASH
`
`On May 20, 2019, the Court received a Motion to Quash filed by counsel on belialf of:
`
`. Kenneth Cooper Alexander, 3 member of the Norfolk City Council and Mayor of the City
`of Norfolk (hereinaflerihe “City”);
`
`a Martin A. Thomas, In, a member ofthe Norfolk City Counsel and vice Mayor for the City;
`
`1- Paul‘R. Riddiek, a member of the Norfolk City Council;
`
`0 Thomas R. Snfigiel, a member of me Norfolk City Council;
`
`. Angela Williams Graves, a member of- the Norfolk City Council;
`
`- Marnie B. Johnson, a member ofthe Norfolk City Council;
`
`- Andria P. McClellan, a member of the Norfolk City Council;
`
`,
`
`I Courtney Doyle, 'a member of the Norfolk City Council;
`
`I Douglas Smith, the appointed City Manager for the City and its chief executive ofiicer
`
`- Richard A. Bull, the appointed Clerk for the City;
`
`

`

`0 Bernard A. Pishko, the appointed City Attorney for the City who is representing the City
`in the instant case;
`
`0 Adam D. Melita — Deputy City Attorney for the City who is representing the City in the
`instant case; and
`
`0 Heather Ann Mullen — Deputy City Attorney for the City who is representing the City in
`the instant case
`
`(hereinafter “Subpoenaed Persons”). Plaintiffs caused to be served on each of the Subpoenaed
`
`Persons a witness subpoena for them to appear on June 3, 2019, at 2:00 pm in the Norfolk Circuit
`
`Court for a hearing on the Plaintifi's’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction in the above-mentioned
`
`6356.
`
`The Court’s review of Plaintiff’s Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Petition for
`
`Preliminary Injunction suggests that legal, and not factual, issues will control the outcome of this
`
`case. it does not appear that many of Plaintiffs’ alleged facts will be contested. Determination of
`
`these issues are not likely to turn 01] testimony from witnesses but on legal issues, including, inter
`
`0150, the Court’s subject matter jurisdiction over this controversy, the authority of the judicial
`
`branch of government to compel a city to perform a legislative fiinction, arid the applicability of
`
`Virginia Code §lS.2-18 12 to the City’s authority to take the action sought by Plaintiffs. None of
`
`the witnesses under subpoena on Whose behalf a motion to quash has been filed, are likely to
`
`present any testimony that touches on any of these issues. Before the Court will allow these pro
`
`se plaintiffs to interrupt the busy schedules of more these dozen leaders of this City to present
`
`testimony that is likely unnecessary and not eontroverted, the Court requires Plaintiffs to prepare
`
`a written proffer of the factual testimony that they expect to elicit from each such witness. That
`
`proffer shall be presented to the City Attorney’s office and to the Court on or before May 28,
`
`2019. The motion to quash wili he‘under advisement until that proffer is received and the City
`
`2
`
`

`

`has presented any additional pleadings regarding the same. The Court anticipates Ihat most of
`
`the relevant facts can be stipulatuds
`
`The Clerk is DIREC'I‘ED to email a copy oft'his Order to aii unrepresented parties and to
`
`counsel 3f record.
`
`Endursemenis by counsel and/or the punks are waived.
`

`IN THE SUPREME COURT OF VIRGHV'IA
`
`RONALD M. GREEN
`
`ROY L. PERRY BEY and
`
`Appellants,
`
`v
`
`Record No: 191235
`
`CITY OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, et al.
`
`Appellees.
`
`CITY OF NORFOLK’S MOTION TO DISMISS
`
`Comes new the Appeliee City of Norfolk (hereinafter “‘City”), by
`
`counsel, and says that this Court should not take any further cognizance of the
`
`Amended Petition for Appeal filed in this matter, dated September 25, 2019,
`
`by reason ofthe following:
`
`i.
`
`The ruling of the trial court that the Appellants seek to appeal
`
`was rendered following a hearing held in open court on July 15, 2019.
`
`Notwithstanding the presence of a court reporter who transcribed the
`
`proceedings, the Appellants failed to file either the transcript from the hearing
`
`or a statement in lieu of transcript, as required by Rule 5:11. Because the
`
`Appellants cannot present any argument on appeal that they did not present to
`
`the trial court} Martin v. Zikerl, 269 Val 35, 39 (2005), a record of what
`
`arguments they made at the hearing is essential to the determination of
`
`

`

`whether any assignment of error listed in their Petition is or is not being
`
`presented for the first time in this Court. The requirement to file a transcript
`
`or statement in lieu of transcript is mandatory, see Towler v. Commonwealth,
`
`216 Va. 533, 53465 (1976), and the Appcilants’ failure to file anything
`
`summarizing the proceedings below requires that their. ?etitien be dismissed.
`
`2.
`
`Whiie the Appeilants’ Petition purports
`
`to include
`
`two
`
`assignments of error, (Pet. for App. 1), there is nothing to indicate where in
`
`the record each error was preserved in. the triai court. Rule 5:17(c) expressiy
`
`requires that the Petition inciude “an exact reference” to the page or pages in
`
`the transcript (which was not filed), the statement in lieu of transcript (which
`
`was not filed), or the record Where the error is preservedi Because no such
`
`references are inciuded in the Petition, the wouid«be assignments of error are
`
`insufficient and the Petition must be dismissed, pursuant
`
`to Rule
`
`5:17(c)(1)(iii).
`
`3.
`
`Substantiveiy,
`
`the two paragraphs iisteci under the heading
`
`“assignments of error” in the Petition fail to address any ruling or finding of
`
`the triai court. Rather, they merely state that the triad court’s. judgment
`
`“conflicts with” certain principals of law. (See'Pet. for App. 1). Because the
`
`

`

`assignments of error are insufficient, the Petition must be dismissed, pursuant
`
`to Rule 5:17(c)(1)(iii).
`
`4.
`
`To the extent this Court were to read the fifteen numbered
`
`paragraphs that appear beiow the heading “Questions Presented” in the
`
`Petition, (Pet. for App. 2—3), as constructiVe assignments of error, these too
`
`are insufficient, since every one of them faiis to include any reference to the
`
`page in the record Where the error was preserved in the trial court.
`
`_
`
`S.
`
`The Petition
`
`fails
`
`to include
`
`severe}
`
`clear, mandatory
`
`requirements
`
`for
`
`it
`
`to be considered compliant with Ride 5:17(e).
`
`Specifieaiiy, it contains:
`
`(a) No statement of the nature of the case (required by Rule
`
`51176009);
`
`(b) No statement of facts that relate to the assignments of error
`
`(required by Rule 5:17(c)(5)); and
`
`(e) No legai argument (required by rule 5:17{c)(6)).
`
`Because these necessary elements are missing; the Petition is defective and
`
`should not be considered by this Court.
`
`

`

`For all of the foregoing reasons, the Appeilee City of Nerfoik meves
`
`this Court to find that the Petition flied in this case is defective and that no
`
`appeal has been perfected, Wherefore this matter shaii be dismissed.

`conduct" or “providing a forum for private Confederate hate speech” or religious white supremacy in violation of law.
