Last month I wrote about the Kafka-esque saga of Aaron Greenspan and California. I received an update this evening that Mr. Greenspan has filed a civil case against the state alleging that California’s actions violate the federal constitution (the interstate commerce clause) and that the state’s actions have been capricious in their administrative functions. Mr. Greenspan is asking for an injunction against the state and for monetary damages.
I probably won’t be covering this in the future. I first wrote about Mr. Greenspan’s trouble with the bureaucracy as an illustration of how bad the bureaucracy is in California. I’m an Enrolled Agent, not someone in the money transmittal business. This is definitely beyond my area of expertise.
Mr. Greenspan has filed his suit pro se (he is representing himself). I wish him the best of luck in putting a dent in the bureaucracy. Given the glacial pace of federal litigation, it’s likely going to be years before this is resolved.
