OCEANSIDE — Next spring, the Oceanside Beach Resort is expected to open the doors of its two new hotels: Mission Pacific Hotel and The Seabird Resort. The Oceanside Beach Resort Owner LLC, an affiliate of the resort’s developer S.D. Malkin Properties, announced the names of the two hotels earlier this month. According to the developer, the two adjacent hotels located at the base of the Oceanside Pier in downtown will be the “newest and largest oceanfront resort” in San Diego County in more than 50 years. “The whole north shore of San Diego has some of the most desirable beaches in the whole region, and Oceanside has taken on this kind of cool

Two respondents file anti-SLAAP against Schumacher By Steve Puterski
DURING A Oct. 15 hearing, a judge dismissed Cori Schumacher’s restraining order case against 77-year-old Larry Posner. Two respondents, Noel Breen and Anthony Bona, filed anti-SLAPP motions against the councilwoman.
CARLSBAD — A judge dismissed one case and continued two others until Dec. 15 in the first hearing regarding Councilwoman Cori Schumacher’s temporary restraining order against three current and former Carlsbad residents. During the Oct. 15 hearing, Schumacher’s case against 77-year-old Larry Posner was dismissed with prejudice, while the cases against Noel Breen and Anthony Bona were continued until Dec. 15.

However, Breen and Bona have each filed anti-SLAAP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) motions against Schumacher. Those cases will also be heard on Dec. 15 in conjunction with TRO cases, the judge ruled. Posner, meanwhile, railed against Schumacher’s action against him and his opposition to her political agenda and actions on the City Council. His attorney, Steven Brumer, is also seeking
$5,000 in attorney’s fees from Schumacher. “What Cori tried to do is an abomination, especially for someone who says they’re going to law school at night,” Posner said. “There was no merit to the case. The only reason I didn’t go forward with a SLAAP suit … it’s not fun. I’m 77, I have prostate cancer … and that’s just the start of it. I won’t engage with someone who can’t afford the winnings.” Breen’s attorney, Philip Mauriello Jr., said in the fil-
ing Schumacher has called out Breen several times in public and blocked his wife, Linda Breen, from Schumacher’s official city Facebook account. The motion alleges blocking users from social media pages violating the First Amendment, citing a case against President Donald Trump. Noel Breen, who moved out of Carlsbad about two years ago, also writes a political blog and has been TURN TO SCHUMACHER ON A10
