Atlantic Avenue corridor could see expanded sidewalks, landscaping and bikeways in the future, City seeks public input iD gital d E itor

Signs on both ends of the Bixby Knolls Atlantic business corridor have signs welcome drivers to the area on Nov. 8, 2021.

Atlantic Avenue could see more aesthetically pleasing and safety-conscious aspects for its outdoor dining program in the near future, while expanded sidewalks and bikeways could come at a later time.

The Monday, Nov. 8 Atlantic Avenue Open Streets community we-

binar hosted by Councilmember Al Austin II served as a forum for 8th District residents to give input on what they would like to see in the Atlantic corridor.

The Open Streets pilot program was started in spring 2020 in response to pandemic closures and restrictions. It allowed for restaurants to offer outdoor dining to its patrons.

Based on safety concerns ob-

served during the pilot program, Austin noted that Public Works was asked to come up with ideas to calm traffic and increase pedestrian and vehicular safety after a surge in excessive speeding in the corridor.

“We did hear you loud and clear about the concerns, about the calming that needed to take place,” City Traffic Engineer Carl Hickman said, referring to various traffic-resee ATLANTIC CORRIDOR page 7

uring its Tuesday, Nov. 9 meeting, the Signal Hill City Council voted unanimously to designate June 2 as an annual Ron Settles Day of Remembrance, honoring a 21-year-old Cal State Long Beach football star who died in 1981 while in Signal Hill police custody.

The council also agreed to place a permanent marker where Settles was arrested by Signal Hill police on June 2, 1981, before dying in his jail cell three hours later. A Los Angeles County coroner’s inquest ultimately deemed Settles’s death a homicide, though no police officers were charged.

City Manager Hannah Shin-Heydorn said the memorial marker will be placed where Signal Hill police officers pulled over Settles’s car while he was driving southbound on Orange Avenue, just north of E. Hill Street. To be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant, the marker will likely be embedded as a panel in the sidewalk at that location. “[This is] a real victory for our family,” Settles’s aunt Juanita Matthews told the Signal Tribune after the meet-

In August, Matthews asked the council, on behalf of the Ron Settles Dedication Committee, to consider recognizing a day of remembrance and installing the commemorative marker.

In June, she and other family and friends held a private memorial at the Signal Hill Community Center to honor the 40th anniversary of Settles’s death.

The council unanimously agreed in April to waive its usual fee for the use of the center.

The City of Signal Hill announced today that Carl Charles has been appointed the interim chief of police for the Signal Hill Police Department.

Charles comes to Signal Hill after a 28-year career in law enforcement with the City of Downey, where he retired from in 2018 after serving six years as chief of police.

According to a statement from the City of Signal Hill, during his tenure in Downey, Charles was credited with equipping all officers with body-worn cameras, installing license-plate readers citywide, forming a homeless outreach team, developing a citizen volunteer program, reinstituting the K9 program and a partnership with Los Angeles County Mental Health to allow mental health professionals to ride with officers.

Charles will begin his tenure with the Signal Hill Police Department on Nov. 15 of this year.

“I consider it a privilege to step into this interim role with a focus on moving the department forward and initiating the process of preparing the Signal Hill Police see SH POLICE CHIEF page 5

Long Beach gets $5 million to create Youth Climate Corps Emma DiMaggio Magnia Edroti

The Long Beach Climate Action and Environmental Committee will be tasked with creating a $5 million Long Beach Youth Climate Corps program after unanimous approval by the city council Tuesday.

As part of this year’s State budget, $150 million was set aside to support youth workforce job programs in California’s 13 largest cities (Long Beach is the seventh largest by population).

The City of Long Beach is expected to receive $6.3 million, most of which will go towards the proposed Youth Climate Corps. The additional $1.3 million will be spent on administration and strengthening existing workforce programs, Mayor Robert Garcia said.

The Coalition of Big City Mayors, which advocated for the funding, has decided to spend the workforce funds on climate-focused job programs, Garcia said.

“As mayors, we came togeth-

er and made the decision that we wanted to fund […] Youth Climate Corps up and down the State of California,” he said. “These would be workforce development programs for youth employment, youth careers in climate service.”

The Climate Action and Environmental Committee, which gives recommendations to the council, is tasked with soliciting public input on the program. Their proposal will come back to the council at a later date.

“The climate crisis can be tackled by the leadership of our future generations of our young people, so this funding is just tremendous and transformative for our entire community,” said Councilmember Cindy Allen, who chairs the Climate Action and Environmental Committee.

Many council members expressed interest in integrating the Conservation Corps of Long Beach (CCLB) into the plan. The CCLB provides job training to at-risk youth and is geared towards cli-

mate, conservation and environmental stewardship.

“We want to engage as many young folks as we can within Long Beach,” said Daniel Knapp, executive director of the CCLB. He suggested creating numerous corps teams in Long Beach to work on district-specific climate projects.

The Youth Climate Corps may mesh with potential funding from a Senate item, Revive the CCC Act, which proposes a “revitalization” of the 1930’s-era Civilian Conservation Corps—a work relief program that employed millions on environmental projects during the Great Depression. The item is currently in the Senate Committee on Finance and has not yet been approved.

“Having a longer term plan for the work ahead will better position us to receive major funding from the federal government,” said Kenny Allen, a member of the climate advocacy group Sunrise Movement.

“My generation is ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work building a world beyond fossil fuel.”

We’re in a drought... don’t leak it out!

The Long Beach Health Department issued an updated health order on Nov. 5 that addresses requirements for schools using modified quarantines, test requirements for mega-events and workplace protocols.

Requirements for modified quarantine at schools Schools can provide a modified quarantine option for students who have been in close contact with someone with a case of COVID-19.

A person is considered in close contact if they have been within six feet of an infected person for a cumulative of 15 minutes or more during a 24-hour period or have been in direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids.

Under this option, students without symptoms can continue in-person learning if they are tested at least twice a week via a rapid antigen or PCR test through the school

if the option is available.

If students test negative, they can be released from quarantine on day eight. The modified quarantine begins the day after their parent or guardian is notified of their exposure.

Testing requirements for attendees at mega events

Mega-events—those with crowds of 1,000 attendees indoors per day or 10,000 attendees outdoors per day—are considered high-risk environments for COVID-19 transmission.

Under the Long Beach health order, these events must require proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event start time. The City’s Nov. 5 health order clarifies that these policies apply to attendees 2 years and older.

COVID-19 protocols in the workplace

According to the City’s health order, masks are required for every-

one, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status “in nearly all indoor settings, with rare exception.”

The updated health order clarifies that those engaged in performing arts, such as musical or theatre performances, may perform for an audience without a mask during their performances.

Those who remove their masks while performing must be tested twice weekly for COVID-19 unless they have proven their full vaccination status. They may also show proof of recovery from laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 within the past 90 days to avoid biweekly testing.

In addition to these updates, the updated health order clarifies that masks must be worn by two or more employees traveling together by car.

Up-to-date vaccine information, including case numbers and COVID-19 resources, can be found at longbeach.gov/COVID19.

Signal Hill City Council green lights new business park Anita W. Harris

Creation of business park raises concerns about truck noise and hiring local labor

A

Senior rW iter

fter conducting a public hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 9, the Signal Hill City Council approved -Izoning amendments and a negative environmental declaration to allow construction of a light-industrial business park spanning both sides of Walnut Avenue between Hill and 21st streets.

The nearly nine-acre Signal Hill Business Park would include nine buildings with light-industrial condominium spaces totaling more than 150,000 square feet, with parking.

Steven Christie, senior development manager of developer Xebec Realty, said he believes there is “significant demand” for light-industrial warehouse space, as evidenced by the current backlog of shipping containers at the local ports.

“This will be a first-class, stateof-the-art industrial park, really a business park,” Christie said. “It has a lot of vibrancy to it.”

Christie said the business park would “uplift” the immediate area through its environmental cleanup of the site—formerly occupied by an oil refinery until 1997—and architecture that blends with nearby American University of Health Sciences and Zinnia apartments.

The site currently has no permanent structures, said Planning Manager Erika Ramirez.

The Los Angeles County Regional Water Quality Control Board will install and oversee new environmental remediation equipment at the site at each phase of construction, Ramirez said, adding that re-

mediation will continue even after the project is complete.

Due to potential contamination from ground chemicals, stormwater runoff would be bio-filtered before entering storm drains, Community Development Manager Colleen Doan noted.

Doan also said Xebec has adjusted its plans over the past four years in response to feedback from

community meetings, public workshops and recent Planning Commission public hearings.

Some of the plan changes include reducing building “mass” by adding color and windows on the sides viewable from nearby neighborhoods and the Jenni Rivera Memorial Park in Long Beach, Doan said. Parking area plans now have bicycle racks, carpool and vanpool

spaces and public transportation markers.

Associate Engineer Jesus Saldana added that the stretch of Walnut Avenue that goes through the project would be widened with new curbs, gutters, streetlights and trees. Utility lines would be moved underground.

Both the council and members of the public raised concerns during the public hearing.

Councilmember Lori Woods expressed worry about business-related trucking disturbing area residents at odd hours once the business park is complete. But Doan said those businesses would have to comply with the City’s normal business hours and noise ordinances.

From the public, four members of the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters labor union— Steven Donahue, Ray Lawson, Robert Rojas and Sam Salinsky—asked the council to ensure the project would be constructed using local skilled labor.

Employing area workers would add to the local economy and reduce the environmental impact of workers commuting to the site from outside the area. Rojas said he commutes hours to his construction job and working locally would allow more time with his family.

Councilmember Robert Copeland, Vice Mayor Keir Jones and Mayor Edward Wilson all expressed support for Xebec to employ area workers.

“I would highly encourage local hire,” Wilson said.

Christie said Xebec hires both union and non-union labor but would consider the request.

“This is a first-class facility,” Christie said. “We pride ourselves on doing good work and hiring locally.”

The council will deliberate final approval of the project after a second public hearing scheduled on January 25, 2022.

Long Beach wants to establish more robust mental health infrastructure, will study feasibility Emma DiMaggio Managing Editor

Long Beach will study the feasibility of establishing a more robust infrastructure for mental health services in the city at the direction of the Long Beach City Council Tuesday.

Vice Mayor Rex Richardson, who authored the item, noted the increasing importance of mental

health post-pandemic. During a presentation, he highlighted rising rates of anxiety and depression among youth and the inability for persons experiencing homelessness to access resources.

“The system is difficult to navigate,” Richardson said. “It allows too many cracks to slip through.”

Both Councilmembers Suzie Price and Stacy Mungo-Flanigan noted that they had brought numerous items to the council related to mental health in the past few years, many of which were deemed “infeasible.”

City Manager Tom Modica said that staff will look back at past pro-

posals to see if additional resources are available.

“Mental health is huge and it is an amazing opportunity. It is also a huge undertaking,” Mungo-Flanigan said. “We need to make sure that if we’re going to do this, it needs to be something that has the staffing and the long term support.”

reenly Art Space collaborated with quilting collective and nonprofit Quilts on the Wall for its latest exhibit “Stitched Together: Creativity in the Time of Covid,” which will debut this Saturday, Nov. 13.

“Each piece gives voice to the unique workings of the artist’s vision,” Greenly Art Space Director and Curator Kimberly Hocking said. “This exhibit was curated based on work that speaks to the specific ideals, concerns, dreams, wonderings and imaginings of these talented textile artists.”

The exhibit includes quilts inspired by the collective’s twice-annual challenges where quilters submit pieces that adhere to certain themes. The collective was founded in 1998 by former Signal Hill resident and textile artist Rose Hughes.

The challenges on display span 2020 to 2021. In “It’s Not All Black and White,” collective members were challenged to create a piece using less than 10% color. “Endangered” garnered works about endangered species and the environment, but also the endangerment of democracy and truth. “Fiddling with Fabric” challenged quilters to use any and all tools at their disposal.

“Tear it, burn it, dye it, extract color from it, poke holes in it,” said Carol Churchill from the Quilts on the Wall exhibition committee.

“Create an art piece that shows how you’ve manipulated this particular textile.”

In one piece, created for the “It’s Not All Black and White” challenge, a monochromatic face dons a bright green mask.

Charlene Tuch, the creator of the piece, said she initially wanted the piece to be flanked by the words “I’m smiling under my mask.”

“By the time I had gotten the face all done and I was putting pieces in to shape the eyes, the eyebrows, cutting the font… the world

had changed,” Tuch said. “I wasn’t artistry.

2020 census data shows increase in multi-racial residents rK isten a F rrah Naeem Stfa Wrreti

City staff gave a presentation to the Long Beach City Council on Tuesday, Nov. 9 about the demographic changes in the city’s census data between 2010 and 2020.

City staff told the council that the number of Long Beach residents who identify as Latino or Hispanic has grown since 2010. In the city overall, there was a 7.2% increase in the amount of residents who identify as Latino or Hispanic between 2010 and 2020.

City staff also said there has been a 144.7% increase in the amount of residents who identify themselves as “other,” and a 57.3% increase in those who identify as two or more races when they fill out the census sheet.

In previous years, residents could only identify themselves as

a limited number of races on the paper census form. Now that the census is available online, residents could choose more options for race.

“My daughters are biracial,” Vice Mayor Rex Richardson said.

“They’re African American. They’re also Latina. So when they grow up what box do they check? I don’t know. And so who knows what the census will look like in the future?”

According to the presentation by City staff, the Asian population of Long Beach increased by 1.8%. The population of those who identify as Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander communities decreased by 19.9%.

According to City staff, the population of both white and Black Long Beach residents has decreased since 2010. The population of Black Long Beach residents counted by the census went down by 6.7% in the 10 year period. The number

of white residents went down by 10.1%.

During public comment, local business owner Senay Kenfe brought up an article by the Washington Post that discusses two analyses that suggest Black Americans may have been significantly under-counted during the 2020 census. One of the reports covered by the Washington Post suggests that Black children could have been under-counted by as much as ten times the rate of their white peers.

Kenfe believes many of the undocumented community members in his neighborhood were not counted in the 2020 census.

According to the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), undocumented immigrants can be afraid to fill out the census because they worry the information they give can be used against them.

that he would figure out the cost of the feasibility study, which may require consultants. He said City staff would put together “that feasibility report of how we would address it and then get funding.”

The item comes almost a week after Community Hospital Long Beach announced that it will phase out its emergency department in favor of increased mental health and wellness offerings—one partnership that could bolster the City’s mental health offerings.

The Health and Human Services Department, which runs things like homeless services and mental health awareness campaigns, is almost entirely grant funded.

“Obviously, funding is an issue.

And I want to learn more about where that access and those opportunities are,” Councilmember Al Austin said. “A lot of our goals here at the City Council are aspirational. But you know, if the funding is there it can be achievable.”

Richardson said that, despite the challenges, the City should look into taking control of its mental health services.

“Cities are already taking on, today, more than they’ve ever taken on. The truth is, things have changed. There’s no going back to the basics,” Richardson said.

“The definition of what we consider a basic need has fundamentally changed. Local government has to evolve to meet that need.”

Department to handle future challenges, as law enforcement continues to adapt to the ever-changing landscape,” Charles said in a statement.

Charles holds a bachelor of arts in criminology and corrections from California State University, Northridge and a master of public administration from the University of Southern California.

“I am excited to have Chief Charles join our City team as the interim chief and look forward to his leadership of the Signal Hill Police Department,” Mayor Edward H.J. Wilson said in a statement. “He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience in public safety, law enforcement, and community policing and will continue to move the police department forward during this transitional time.”

Former Chief of Police Christopher Nunley announced his retire-

ment on Sept. 21.

On the day of the announcement, Nunley said in as statement: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your police chief. I am proud to have been a member of this department, and for all that it has offered to me and my family.”

Nunley began his career with the SHPD in 1997, and was appointed chief of police in January 2016.

During his time as chief, oversaw the construction and move to a new police facility, the implementation of body-worn cameras, the replacement of the department’s dispatch software and the implementation of a homeless liaison officer.

Nunely’s retirement announcement came just ten days after Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna announced his plans to retire this coming December.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1342 MYRTLE AVENUE, LONG BEACH, CA 90813 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $645,957.99 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction. com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08001727-14-1S. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this

right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call www.

Auction.com, or visit this internet website https://tracker.auction.com/sb1079/, using the file number assigned to this case CA08001727-14-1S to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

lated concerns.

Ideas for Atlantic Open Streets

Traffic Engineer Paul Van Dyk led a presentation with two early level ideas for Atlantic’s Open Streets program.

Option 1 features parallel parking in the corridor with landscaping to replace orange plastic k-rails and traffic cones that are usually intended for construction zones.

Bulb-outs with trees, potted plants and asphalt curbs would replace the plastic traffic devices.

A similar concept with potted plants can be seen on 3rd Street and Broadway that features decorative containers and tamper-proof curbs to delineate where cars are not allowed.

“What we’re proposing here is to help improve the aesthetics of the street by making some of those improvements,” Van Dyk said.

The traffic engineer noted that this idea was based on feedback that the corridor looked like a construction zone.

The estimated cost for option 1— which would run from San Antonio Drive to Bixby Road—was estimated at $300,000.

Option 2 features parallel and angled parking with the same landscaping as option 1 from San Antonio Drive to Bixby Road.

The estimated cost for option 2 was also estimated at $300,000.

Resident Alexander Greg asked the panelists during public comment what could be done to improve pedestrian safety, especially in major intersections.

According to Van Dyk, the rec-

ommended bulb-outs and temporary asphalt curves will shorten the distance a pedestrian has to cross the street, which would reduce the distance a pedestrian is exposed to vehicles by 20 to 25 feet.

Atlantic Corridor Vision

Van Dyk also presented a future corridor vision for Atlantic Avenue beyond the outdoor dining program that hopes to foster an “easily accessible, calm and climate-conscious environment.”

Both Options: Atlantic corridor from San Antonio Drive to Bixby Road: Landscaping, bulb-outs with trees, potted plants, and asphalt curbs Option 1: Parallel parking Option 2: Parallel and angled parking In rethinking Atlantic Avenue, some of the elements on the table include: increased parking, landscaping, open space, wider sidewalks, outdoor dining and a recreational path.

Van Dyk stressed that the ideas were all early level concepts and a starting place to gather input to help with brainstorming.

“[We] just wanted to have a conversation about what types of elements might be good, but also we want to hear what types of elements are not as desirable,” Van Dyk said.

Option A features a raised bikeway on either side of the street that expands pedestrian space.

Option B features a paseo (walkway for strolling) to expand outdoor dining and a recreational path that would expand sidewalk space on the east side of the street (24 feet for dining and 7 feet for a regular sidewalk). This idea also includes a bike path. One lane of traffic would be maintained going northbound and another southbound on the west side of the street.

This option removes driving lanes and parking on the east side of the street to give way to the paseo but provides a drop-off and pick-up zone or metered parking lane on the west side.

Option B would give the corridor a “local main street” feel and would allow for a more “social environment,” Van Dyk said.

Option C features expanded sidewalks that would allow transit shelters more room while maintaining a wide sidewalk. An alternative features a substantial outdoor dining zone and wide sidewalk.

“The goal of the 8th district is to create a vibrant, cohesive and livable community,” Austin said.

A traffic configuration survey for residents and employees in District 8 can be found at: https:// bit.ly/clb_atlanticave and will be open until November 29, 2021 at 11:59 p.m.

Wilson spoke of the City addressing systemic racism and expressed support for an official June 2 remembrance day for Settles, who was African American. Nunley spoke of how today’s Signal Hill police officers are working not to repeat past racist behaviors and attitudes that may have led to Settles’s death.

continued from page 1 During Tuesday’s meeting, the Signal Hill Diversity Coalition Committee (DCC)—which the council established in July 2020 as part of its Race and Equity Framework—expressed written support for “celebrating” a day of remembrance and commemorative marker.

“Ron Settles was much more than a Black man who was pulled over by Signal Hill police,” the DCC wrote to the council. “He was named in several college football polls as one of the most promising

running backs on the West Coast.”

The committee stated that though Settles is no longer here, his “image, legacy and purpose” will continue because of the council’s “monumental” vote.

Wilson agreed that the council’s unanimous decision was an important step for Signal Hill.

“It is an opportunity for us as a city to heal and to move forward and recognize that every life does matter,” he said. “No one wants their loved one to be in custody and not come out alive.”

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 12/09/21 at 8:30AM in Dept. 11 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
