Moe Mohanna Wins in Court
Sacramento downtown property owner Mohammed “Moe” Mohanna has won the first round in the legal dispute with Sacramento’s Redevelopment Agency over a long delayed land swap of property along K Street that had been scheduled for redevelopment.
The City of Sacramento is suing Mohanna and others, trying to enforce a land swap that has been stalled for several years since a fire gutted properties on the 800 block and others were demolished. Mohanna filed to have the lis pendens notice expunged. The actual court case is still pending.
Superior Court Judge Loren McMaster has ruled that the city was not legally justified in recording what’s known as a “lis pendens” (essentially a notice that there is pending litigation on the property and that any buyers or investors should be wary) on Mohanna’s and others property in the 700 block of K Street.
