The orders stem from an earlier federal ruling, resolving a class action lawsuit on behalf of disabled homeless veterans in the Los Angeles area.
The UCLA baseball stadium is slated to be locked up at noon Thursday following a federal judge's ruling earlier this month, citing a violation of land use at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs West Los Angeles campus. The order came during a Wednesday hearing as U.S. District Judge David O. Carter voiced frustration as the illegally leased grounds on the VA's campus do not benefit military veterans, for whom the land was originally deeded.
VA attorneys alleged that any relief ordered by the court would burden the department financially and deprive it of the flexibility needed to solve veteran homelessness. Ultimately, the court found that veterans are entitled to more than 2,500 units of housing at the campus and voided the land-use agreements.
