Case No. 20CECG03710

NOTICE!  YOU HAVE BEEN SUED.  THE COURT MAY DECIDE AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR BEING HEARD UNLESS YOU RESPOND NOT LATER THAN  

MARCH 5, 2021.  READ THE INFORMATION BELOW.

AVISO!  USTED HA SIDO DEMANDADO.  EL TRIBUNAL PUEDE DECIDIR CONTRA USTED SIN AUDIENCIA A MENOS QUE USTED RESPONDA NO MAS TARDE QUE EL DIA 5 DE MARZO DE 2021.  LEA LA INFORMACION QUE SIGUE.

ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE MATTER OF THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND EAGLE FIELD WATER DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR PROJECT WATER SERVICE FROM DELTA DIVISION AND FACILITIES REPAYMENT, CONTRACT NO. 14-06-200-7754-LTR1-P AND THE PROCEEDINGS RELATED THERETO (THE “CONVERSION CONTRACT”):

            Plaintiff has filed a civil complaint against you.  You may contest the validity of the above matter by appearing and filing with the Court a written responsive pleading to the complaint not later than March 5, 2021, which is ten (10) or more days after the completion of the publication of this summons in the Fresno Business Journal and the Merced Sun Star.  Your pleading must be in the form required by the California Rules of Court.  Your original pleading must be filed in this Court with proper filing fees and proof that a copy thereof was served on Plaintiff’s attorneys.  Unless you so respond, your default will be entered upon Plaintiff’s application, and the Plaintiff may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the complaint.  Persons who contest the validity of the matter described below and in the complaint will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. 

            DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE: 

            The Eagle Field Water District (the “District”) is a California water district with service areas in Fresno and Merced Counties in California.  Pursuant to applicable statutes and other authorities, the District is authorized to perform various duties and functions related to providing irrigation water to landowners within the District’s boundaries.  As pertinent here, the District is authorized to enter into contracts with and cooperate with the United States for irrigation and municipal purposes.  Beginning in 1959, the District has so contracted for water delivery with the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (“Reclamation”) for delivery of water through the federal Central Valley Project (“CVP”) water reclamation dams, canals, and other facilities.  The District uses the contracted CVP water to provide irrigation and municipal water to its customers in the District.

            On December 16, 2016, the United States Congress enacted the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act, Pub.L. 114-322 (2016) (the “WIIN Act”).  Pursuant to Section 4011(a) of the WIIN Act, in 2019, the District requested that Reclamation convert its existing water supply contract to a repayment contract under Section 9(d) of the 1939 Reclamation Project Act (53 Stat. 1187) (the “1939 Act”).  The District and Reclamation entered into negotiations for the Conversion Contract beginning in May 2019.  In July 2020, Reclamation posted the unexecuted negotiated Conversion Contract on its internet website for a public comment period.  After the comment period ended, Reclamation provided the unexecuted Conversion Contract to the District for approval by the District’s Board of Directors and authorization for signature.  The Conversion Contract will provide continued water delivery to the District and its landowners and shall remain in force unless or until the District does not make the annual payments for the delivered water.  A copy of the Conversion Contract is attached to the District’s complaint as Exhibit 2.  

            The District publicly noticed its special Board of Directors (the “Board”) meeting agenda on-site at the District and on the District’s website, notifying the public of the Board’s consideration of the Conversion Contract to be held on October 12, 2020.  At the Board meeting on October 12, 2020, the District’s Board approved the Conversion Contract and authorized the execution and delivery of the Conversion Contract to Reclamation, and related actions in furtherance of executing the Conversion Contract.  A copy of the Resolution is attached in the District’s complaint as Exhibit 1.

            The District brought this validation action to confirm the validity of the Conversion Contract and the proceedings related thereto.  The validation complaint, the accompanying exhibits, and a copy of this Summons are available upon request at the District’s offices and publicly available on the District’s website at:

51170 W. Althea Ave, Firebaugh CA 93622

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Elizabeth A. Andazola in the Superior Court of California, County of FRESNO.

The Petition for Probate requests that Elizabeth A. Andazola be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:

February 23, 2021, 9:00 A.M., Dept.: 303

1130 “O” Street, 3rd Floor – Dept. 303

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.
