"Good news" from Mexico on the Tenacatita situation for those of you interested.  Me,I'm holding my breath on this one, but it does look as if some sort of justice is in the works.  

        BTW, Rita & I are off on another winter adventure which will eventually lead us to see what is going on down there in Tenacatita up close and personal.  We are off with our VW camper, again, November 01, to Florida for a family wedding Nov. 11.  We will then spend some time in Florida with family, go to Key West, meet some friends near Tampa then head to Cozumel either by boat if we can or by the long road around.  We will stay in Cozumel with friends from here until late January ~ February then head to Bacalar, Puerto Escondido, up the coast to La Manzanilla then to California for April then back home for the end of April.  And, yes, there will be a Blog, announcement coming soon.

        Please pass this news on to anyone you may know who is interested.

> Emilio, objeto de juicio por facilitar despojo en Tenacatita
> 
> El gobernador de Jalisco, Emilio Gonz�lez M�rquez, ser� objeto de un juicio pol�tico por permitir y facilitar el despojo en playas de Tenacatita y por favorecer al ex presidente de la Canaco Guadalajara, Jos� Mar�a Andr�s Villalobos y a su empresa Rodenas, que sostiene un litigio sobre predios en la localidad.
> As� lo asegura el abogado de los afectados por el despojo, Everardo Rojas Contreras, quien anuncia tambi�n una demanda penal contra el secretario de Seguridad Estatal, Luis Carlos N�jera Guti�rrez de Velasco: �No por golpes, robo, da�os a las cosas y despojo porque despojaron m�s de lo que supuestamente deberian de despojar�.

> Los magistrados de la novena sala del Supremo Tribunal de Justicia de Jalisco, revocaron la resoluci�n del juez segundo de lo civil en Autl�n, con la que el Corporativo Rodena se apropi� de fincas y la playa de Tenacatita.
> Los argumentos los expone el abogado de los afectados por el despojo, Everardo Rojas Contreras: �La sentencia que se dict� en el juicio donde se promovi�, no abarcaba la litis de la reivindicaci�n, y la segunda: el juez de Autl�n no tiene facultades para constituirse en un Juez Federal y resolver el cumplimiento de un amparo. �Con esto, deber� tener que abrir de inmediato el paso a la playa y...? Y aparte va a tener que abrir inmediatamente y a restitu�r todos los da�os y perjuicios que ocasion�.

Subject: Press Conference
From: tenanews@gmail.com
To: tenanews@gmail.com

I'm sending this again because some people received it and others just got an empty email. Strange.

I'm actually in California and missed the hurricane. I haven't been able to get any information about El Rebalsito or Tenacatita, although the La Manzanilla Message Board has lots of info about La Manz. 

As for the press conference, there's great news. The magistrados of the Novena Sala Supremo Tribunal de Justicia del Estado wrote an 88 page document/decision about the case. It's definitely not light reading. These are the important points: 

--The judge in Autlan that ordered the judge in Cihuatlan to carry out the eviction, did not have the legal authority to do that. It would have had to be done by a federal judge, and he wasn't one. 

--The Supreme Court decision of 1999, that Rodenas was basing his actions on, only applied (legally) to the Sra. Paz Gortazar and not to Rodenas. 

--The titles signed by Presidents Fox and Calderon are valid. 

--The land has to be restored to the way it was before the desalojo, and Rodenas has to pay all material damages. 

The ejido lawyer, Everardo Rojas Contreras said that although Rodenas claimed 42 hectares, he had actually taken possession of 160. Therefore he's filing papers against the governor and the head of state security for not upholding the law. 

Rodenas has filed an appeal, which will be heard on Oct. 27, but Rojas says there's no grounds for appeal. He expects it might take until the beginning of Dec. to finalize everything, at which point all the fences will come down and people will be able to go back to their homes. 

Rodenas' concession ends the first week in January and the concession is then supposed to go to the municipal of La Huerta. We don't know what the conditions will be, but I've heard that they're not going to allow restaurants on the beach, that they'll have to be on the other side of the road (the lagoon side). 

It seems like the real thing this time, since it's a court decision.
