Nita City Housing Authority v. Johnson, Second Edition with CD-ROM, Case File

Nita City Housing Authority v. Ladonna Johnson, Second Edition is an action for eviction. Ladonna Johnson and her two grandchildren and great-grandchild live at Nita Gardens, Nita City's only public housing project. Grounds for the eviction are based on Ms. Johnson's grandson's alleged criminal gang activity. However, Ms. Johnson believes the eviction is in retaliation for her formation of a tenant action committee requesting the installation of fire sprinklers. A CD is included, which contains full color exhibits and a sample PowerPoint presentation of the exhibits.
