Judge Faith dismisses Noe's complaint while ordering Doe to surrender by August 15
The Westminster City Council meeting held on June 25, 2025, addressed several significant legal matters and council member attendance issues. The meeting began with updates on ongoing legal cases involving the city and its officials.

Judge Faith granted the city's motion to dismiss Joseph Noe's First Amendment complaint against the city, Mayor Wynne, and Chief Lanay. Noe has until July 9 to file a second amended complaint; failure to do so will conclude the case. Should the city prevail, it will seek reimbursement for all attorney fees incurred.

In another case, final orders of forfeiture were issued on June 16 regarding bank funds linked to BAS and Aloha Financial, as well as property owned by Doe's daughter in Tustin and Aloha Financial's property in Santa Ana, all acquired with stolen taxpayer money. Doe is required to surrender by noon on August 15, with the judge recommending a low-security federal prison to facilitate family visitation.

The meeting also highlighted concerns regarding ongoing investigations. A settlement conference for Amy's criminal bribery case is scheduled for next Tuesday, with a strong call from the public for full prosecution. Additionally, a case management conference regarding Amy and Nam Quan is set for July 22, where Amy's motion to strike will also be addressed. Former HLO Nicole Brown's arraignment is scheduled for July 9.

Attendance issues among council members were raised, particularly regarding Amy and Nam Quan, who have frequently missed meetings and city events. Public comments expressed frustration over their lack of commitment, suggesting that consequences should be enforced for their absences.

The meeting concluded with a call for accountability among council members, emphasizing the need for dedication to their roles and responsibilities within the city. The council will continue to address these pressing issues in upcoming meetings.
