A California appellate court issued an order last week delaying the removal of three Mission Viejo City Councilors from their seats just one day before an order by an Orange County Superior Court judge would have forced them to resign.
The court granted the city’s petition to delay the order on Sep. 29, giving both the city and plaintiff an opportunity to provide more evidence by Oct. 18 and allowing the councilors to remain in office until a final decision has been made.
