Yeager in Sacramento court as part of lawsuit - Our Region - The Sacramento Bee

Yeager in Sacramento court as part of lawsuit - Our Region - The Sacramento Bee: The lawsuit “is essentially about homeowners getting something for nothing,” plaintiffs’ lawyer Eugene P. Haydu said in his trial brief.

Haydu is representing Park River Oak Estates Homeowners Association. The association runs a townhouse complex next to Garcia Bend Park. The suit says Yeager and his wife, who live near Grass Valley, own a couple of units in the development but haven’t paid their association fees.

“While defendant General Charles Yeager may be a famous man, that fame does not make him immune … from principles of simple fairness,” the brief said.

The defendants’ attorney Michael Thomas argued in his brief that the Yeagers’ properties were never annexed to the association and that the couple has not requested nor have they ever received any services from it.

But look on the bright side. This will generate attorney's fees!
