SUBJECT : San Onofre Update
TO : All naturists and other concerned citizens
Dear Naturist,
This is an update from the Naturist Action Committee (NAC) on the status
of San Onofre State Beach and NAC's ongoing effort on behalf of
naturists there.
In June of this year, a California state court of appeal ruled in favor
of the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) in its
appeal of a Superior Court's ruling from 2008 that had favored
naturists. The Naturist Action Committee and Friends of San Onofre Beach
subsequently sought a ruling from the California Supreme Court. Today,
the California Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
The appellate ruling was initially unpublished, but at the request of
DPR, the appellate court later published the ruling. NAC requested
that the ruling be de-published. However, as an adjunct to today's
announcement, the California Supreme Court refused NAC's request to
de-publish.
At issue in the lawsuit was whether DPR has followed proper procedure in
abruptly ending the application of the Cahill/Harrison regulation
at San Onofre State Beach. Cahill/Harrison is long-standing and
well-known means for managing and regulating the clothing-optional use of
portions of state parks.
TICKETS FOR NUDITY ARE POSSIBLE AT ALL CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS
The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case allows the possibility that
rangers may immediately begin issuing citations for nudity under
Title 14, Section 4322 of the California Code of Regulations. Because
the appeal ruling was published, this threat applies not only at San
Onofre State Beach, but at ALL UNITS OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE PARK SYSTEM.
MORE INFORMATION
Details of this situation and specifics of the Cahill/Harrison
Regulation and associated documents may be found on the NAC Web page:
http://www.naturistaction.org/sanonofre
There, you will find background documents related to the Cahill Policy,
the Harrison letter and NAC's lawsuit.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
This is a tremendous setback, but the battle has not ended. The Naturist
Action Committee is carefully considering the details of each of
its remaining options and the ramifications of each.
NAC will continue to issue Action Alerts, Advisories and Updates on this
issue as circumstances require. Look for them.
PLEASE HELP NAC TO CONTINUE HELPING NATURISTS!
The Naturist Action Committee remains committed to the vigorous defense
of the clothing-optional use of public land. Activism on behalf of
naturists can be expensive. NAC relies entirely on the voluntary
financial support of people like YOU.
