The estate of ex-DA Jackie Lacey’s late husband seeks records on CSULA courses with “topics related to protesting and provoking change through various actions and behaviors.”
LOS ANGELES — Attorneys for the estate of the late husband of former Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey are fighting an attempt by a Black Lives Matter demonstrator to block their attempts to obtain information on her Cal State Los Angeles teaching curriculum.
Abdullah is a co-founder of the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter and a professor of Pan-African Studies at CSULA, where she teaches courses, among other things, on power relations in Black communities and provoking change through aggressive behaviors, according to the David Lacey estate attorneys’ court papers.
The suit filed in October 2020 stems from a confrontation occurred when BLM members Abdullah, Dahlia Ferlito and Justin Marks showed up at the couple’s Granada Hills residence the morning of March 2, 2020, and were confronted at gunpoint at the door by David Lacey, who died Sept. 5.On Oct.
“ motion is substantively meritless because Mr. Lacey is not seeking employment records nor any records subject to privacy or privilege concerns,” the David Lacey estate attorneys argue in their court papers. “Rather, the subpoena seeks plaintiff Melina Abdullah’s teaching curriculum … as taught within her Pan-African study courses at CSULA.”
