Stockton Tenants Facing Retaliation for Reporting Habitability Issues: Sue Your Landlord

Stockton tenants are entitled to habitable homes.  Not only does California law require landlords to make repairs, but the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance, codified at Chapter 8.32 of the Stockton Municipal Code, also ensures Stockton tenants obtain repairs when living with intractable habitable issues.  To eliminate blighted housing and enhance the quality of life for Stockton tenants, the Ordinance prohibits retaliation for requesting repairs, specifies standards for handling repairs, and provides relocation for displacements caused by repair work.

Where a Stockton tenant suffers landlord retaliation for reporting uninhabitable conditions to Stockton Code Enforcement – resulting in a Notice of Violation – the tenant has a legal claim for money damages.  The Stockton tenant may sue the landlord in court.  Suffering landlord retaliation for reporting uninhabitable conditions in your home?  Contact Astanehe Law today!

Does the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance Cover My Unit?

The Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance covers all residential rental units in the City of Stockton, including rooming and boarding houses with three (3) units or more on one site.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.030.  The Ordinance also covers parking lots, driveways, landscaping, accessory structures, fences, walls, swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas.

The Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection Maintenance Ordinance exempts units in the following buildings:

Hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and similar occupancies;

Newly constructed buildings with four (4) or more rental units that are not yet five (5) years old, as measured from the date the certificate of occupancy is issued by the City of Stockton Building Division; and,

Subsidized residential rental units that the government annually inspects.  Stockton Municipal Code §§ 8.32.030, 8.32.120.

Please note that the exemption for newly constructed buildings and subsidized units does not apply where the landlord fails any inspection required by the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.120.

Does the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance Protect Subtenants?

Yes, subtenants and any person occupying a rental unit is covered under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.040.

Does the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance Apply to Property Managers?

Yes, the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance applies to property managers.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.040.  Specifically, the Ordinance applies to property owners and any person, entity, or group that oversees the day-to-day property operations, including handling applications, repairs, and collecting rent.

What Does the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance Require? 

To comply with the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance, the landlord must:

Permit the City of Stockton to inspect their rental units at least once every four (4) years, except if the rental unit is covered under the self-certification program or exempt from the Ordinance; and,

Maintain covered rental units in a habitable condition that complies with applicable State Housing Law, and the Stockton Municipal Code, including the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, and the City of Stockton’s maintenance standards checklist.  Stockton Municipal Code §§ 8.32.050, 8.32.070.

The landlord is permitted to patriciate in the self-certification program where they maintain the rental unit and no existing violations of state or Stockton law exist.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.060.   Under the self-certification program, the landlord will be able to conduct property inspections to satisfy the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance, and certify that the unit complies with the law.  Where the City of Stocktonreceives a complaint, and determines the complaint is valid, the landlord can no longer participate in the self-certification program.  They will also be assessed a penalty, charged an inspection fee, and ineligible to re-apply for the self-certification program until the rental unit passes inspection or twelve (12) months.  Alternatively, the landlord may participate in a four (4) hour course, pays all penalties and fees due, and corrects all outstanding violations.  If the landlord or property manager is disqualified from self-certification three times, they become prohibited from participating in the self-certification program for four (4) years.

Will I Receive a Notice Before the City of Stockton Inspects My Home? 

Yes, before a City inspection, the City of Stockton will notify your landlord and you.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.080.  The City of Stockton must post a notice of inspection at the rental unit at least twenty-one (21) calendar days before the inspection. In addition, where the code enforcement officer cancels or re-schedules the inspection, they must provide the Stockton tenant with written notice at least five (5) business days before the inspection.  They also must re-post a notice with the new inspection date at the rental unit.

What Happens Where A Stockton Tenant Refuses to Allow the Code Enforcement Officer Entry to Inspect Under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance?

Where a Stockton tenant refuses to allow a Stockton Code Enforcement Officer entry to inspect a rental unit under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance, the City Attorney may obtain a warrant from court forcing the tenant to acquiesce to the inspection.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.080.

Do Stockton Tenants Owe Any Fees Under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance?

No, Stockton tenants do not owe any fees under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.090.  Only property owners are responsible for paying the residential rental unit inspection fee, a reinspection fee, delinquency fee, and any other fee or penalty that may be assessed under the Ordinance.  A landlord or property manager charging a Stockton tenant a fee under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance is unlawful and likely retaliatory conduct entitling the Stockton tenant to money damages.

Common Habitability Issues Addressed by the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance

Common habitability issues the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance seeks to address include:

Lack of heat;

Rodent and other vermin infestations;

Hot and Cold running water;

Functioning sewage systems with no sewage overflows;

Functioning electrical system;

Well maintained windows, including equipped with window screens;

Functional water heater;

Plumbing in working order;

Sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and shower surrounds in good, working condition;

No visible mold;

All mechanical equipment (appliances, venting systems, thermostats, and air conditioning units) in good, working order; and,

Flooring in good condition and free of trip hazards.

What Happens Where the Landlord Fails to Keep the Stockton Tenant’s Rental Unit in a Habitable Condition?

When the City of Stockton’s code enforcement officer inspects a Stockton tenant’s rental unit and determines that code violations exist, the officer will issue a written notice of violation ordering the landlord to repair all habitability issues at the property.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.130.

How Long Must Stockton Tenants Wait for Repairs to Uninhabitable Units?

The repair time will depend on the type and severity of habitability issues in the Stockton tenant’s unit and the property.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.130.  Specifically, the City of Stockton may order repairs as soon as twenty-four (24) hours to as long as one-hundred-and-twenty (12) days, all depending on the severity of the repair issue.  Further, the landlord or property manager may request an extension of time from the City of Stockton to allow additional time to make repairs.  However, the City of Stockton will only grant additional time where the landlord makes substantial demonstrable progress towards correcting the violation.

Must the Landlord Provide Relocation Assistance Where Repair Work Requires Stockton Tenant Relocation?

Yes, Stockton tenants must receive relocation payments where repair work addressing habitability issues cited in a notice of violation requires tenant displacement.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.150.  Under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance, Stockton tenants must receive relocation assistance as outlined in the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance, which are an amount equal to the lower of either:

Two times the Stockton tenant’s current rent; or,

An amount equal to the Stockton tenant’s monthly rent at their new home.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.030.

Where the Stockton tenant is required to vacate within seventy-two (72) hours or less time, the Stockton tenant is entitled to relocation assistance as follows:

A base relocation payment, as specified above;

The reasonable and actual costs for up to two (2) weeks of temporary housing;

Moving expenses; and,

The cost to store personal property for up to two (2) weeks.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.040.

Who is Responsible for Paying Stockton Tenant Relocation Payments Under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance?

Under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance, property owners are responsible for paying relocation payments to Stockton tenants displaced from their rental units due to unsafe or hazardous living conditions.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.020.

When Citing a Rental Unit, Will the City of Stockton Provide Notice of a Stockton Tenant’s Right to Relocation Payments Under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance?

Yes, the City of Stockton will provide both the landlord and Stockton tenant with a notice summarizing the Stockton tenant’s right to relocation benefits.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.080.  Please note that the City’s failure to provide this notice does not relieve the property owner of their obligation to provide relocation payments.

Are There Any Circumstances Where Stockton Tenants are not Entitled to Collect Relocation Benefits? 

Yes, Stockton tenants are not entitled to collect relocation payments under the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance when:

The Stockton tenant caused or substantially contributed to the unsafe or hazardous living conditions giving rise to the Notice of Violation, as determined by the City of Stockton;

The rental unit becomes unsafe or hazardous as a result of an earthquake, flood, fire, or other natural disaster unrelated to safety or code violations;

The Stockton tenant refuses to move into a habitable unit, as determined by the city, available to the tenant within sixty (60) days following the vacate date.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.070.

How Stockton Tenants Fight Back Against Landlord Abuse of the Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance?

The Stockton Residential Rental Unit Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance prohibits retaliation.  Stockton Municipal Code § 8.32.180.  Where a landlord evicts a Stockton tenant for exercising their rights under the law, the tenant has a retaliatory eviction claim and may file a civil lawsuit against their landlord.

Additionally, Stockton tenants may contact the City Attorney by phone.

Tenants in California’s Central Valley push for reforms amid high eviction rates

About 300,000 persons are at risk of losing their homes if the state’s moratorium on rent payments, due to end January 31st, is not extended. There are no permanent tenant protection laws.

Jessica Ramirez is 29 years old, is the mother of six children, and has an eviction on her record, which not only forced her to have to sleep in her car and in parks, and to get by on public charity, but it has become an indelible stain on her record, which prevents her from getting housing.

“Even though I went to court, my eviction has not been removed [from the records]. Only the landlord has the right to do that,” said Ramirez, a Fresno resident who has become a strong community advocate in the fight for tenants’ rights. “I should not be forced to choose between my housing and the health and safety of my children just because I am a tenant.”

Ramirez spoke at a press conference organized by Ethnic Media Services that put a spotlight on housing rights in the midst of the pandemic in a region with the highest eviction rates in California, where more than 7 million people live: the Central Valley. Women of races other than white –mothers who are heads of households– are being disproportionately affected by this crisis.

In the midst of COVID-19, Ramirez has not been able to comply with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shelter-in-place orders or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. Getting a lease is already an odyssey as her eviction will not be removed from her credit record for seven years. When she was able to rent an apartment, she was not able to renew the lease and has received eviction notices without any previous communication.

“I don’t want anyone to experience what my kids are going through,” said Ramirez, who has joined other tenants under the umbrella of services from Faith in the Valley (FIV), a faith-based community organization in California’s Central Valley that tracks the housing crisis and represents families in Fresno, Kern, Merced, Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties.

In 2019, before the start of the pandemic, FIV documented 12,000 evictions in those five counties, based on court records and at a time when unemployment was at its lowest after the 2008 crisis. “We know that outside of the courts, the number of evictions is twice as many and the pandemic has only worsened that crisis,” said Janine Nkosi, regional FIV advisor. “Evictions in the Central Valley happen at higher rates than anywhere else in California,” she added.

According to the data analyzed by FIV, the demand for unemployment benefits in this area increased 600% at the beginning of the pandemic in March, with 650,000 people looking for income relief. They now estimate that 100,000 households, or about 300,000 individuals, are at risk of eviction if the state’s moratorium on rent payments –due to end on January 31– is not extended.

“We need rent, mortgage and utility relief to keep families afloat,” Nkosi explained, mentioning the importance of assembly bills AB15 and AB16 that seek to expand the terms for COVID-19 rent debt and provide affordable housing for these tenants.

FIV also mentioned the large disparities in legal representation of tenants against landlords. Not only are cases resolved in a matter of minutes, ruling in favor of evictions, but less than 1% of tenants have legal representation. In contrast, national surveys have shown that 90% of landlords have an attorney representing them.

Nkosi shared the case of Fresno County, where in 2019 the most active landlord advocate handled 643 cases, while the most active tenant advocate represented only six cases. Unlike in criminal justice, the right to a public defender in this civil matter is null.

“The civil right to defense and the elimination of criminal records are our great demands,” Nkosi said. “An eviction not only stays on the record for seven years, but that represents 10 years of negative credit and tenants end up having to pay 25 times what they owe… We want laws that reduce that record to just six months and allow for a five-year moratorium on debt.”

Affordable Housing

The lack of affordable housing is an additional element to the recession. Among the 12 regions of California, the Central Valley has one of the lowest rates of homeownership and the highest rates of homes with multiple families.

According to data shared by Professor Edward Orozco Flores of UC Merced’s Labor and Community Center, only 49.5% of the residents here own a home, making the Central Valley the third place with the highest number of renters, after Los Angeles and San Diego.

There is an average of 10.7 homes with multiple families per 100 households, meaning that up to 10 families live in one house, highlighting the crisis of overcrowding and the impossibility of physical distancing that have made ethnic communities the biggest victims of this pandemic.

“There is a false idea that the cost of living in the Central Valley is low, because here we also have the second lowest wages in the state,” added Orozco Flores, referring to the most common occupations that are those of essential workers: agriculture and food processing.

Many of these workers live on food stamps because they have to spend 30% to 50% of their income on paying rent, which is referred to as an “extreme rent burden.”

On top of that, “we have the highest unemployment rate… As a result of the pandemic, one in four households has lost or reduced their income and this is a problem for those who are tenants.”

In November of last year, Claude Bailey, a 79-year-old Stockton resident, was evicted from the apartment where he had lived for over 20 years. He had to live out of his car for 10 months, sleeping in the car, and went days without eating because he wanted to avoid using the disgusting public bathrooms, and was evicted by the police from parks and corners in his neighborhood. All this in the midst of the pandemic.

“It was a nightmare, I could barely sleep,” said Bailey who, thanks to the help of friends, recently found a shelter. “I lived in fear, I never knew where I was going to go, or what to do, I couldn’t relax because I was constantly on the move… I saw many older adults who have worked very hard for their families, abandoned to their fate on the streets, sleeping in boxes. This can happen to anyone,” he added.

Bailey wants legislators, property owners, and society at large to do their part. “A society is known for how it treats its elderly people. We pay our taxes and have built this country. It’s time for them to help us,” he concluded.

“21 January 2015 Lebanon, Kansas USA

British Men of Letters Attending Officer: Mr. Arthur Ketch Report Type: Class C Sub 8

 At 16:24 on January 20th, a type B spirit was reported in the home of Mr. and Mrs. White, 42 Oak Lane, Stockton, Kansas. Type C spirit was confirmed upon further investigation. Samuel “Sam” William Winchester and myself, Arthur Ketch, attended the scene under identification code 342. The subject in question was cremated and it was determined their spirit was attached to a self portrait, artistic taste notwithstanding. We returned to the house at 23:00. The portrait was burned by myself, while Mr. Winchester ran surveillance. Upon subsequent investigation, the spirit was determined to be evicted. We returned to Bunker 1A, where I proceeded to fuck Samuel “Sam” William Winchester in the artifact room.

See attached file for a full list of documents and expenditures.

...”

Ketch paused, a subtle smirk on his lips.

“...You know you don’t have to write those anymore.” Sam appeared beside him. “You don’t work for the British Men of Letters anymore.”

Ketch took a calculated breath. “Yes, well. These are for my own records.” He minimized the document and swiveled around to face Sam.

“Uh-huh.” Sam said, unconvinced. “Does it say anything in there about the artifact room?”

“Oh.” Ketch said. “In vigorous detail.”

Sam laughed. “Unbelievable.”

“Yes. I thought so, too.” He eyed Sam approvingly.

 The hunt had started off innocent enough. Ketch didn’t have any friends, you see. And Sam, well, as Dean put it, he had a habit of taking in strays. He was sensitive. Yes, that’s what it was, sensitive. Anyhow, Sam discovered that Ketch spent his evenings alone and decided to offer his friendship. These were trying times, he said, and it was important to stick together, previous complications and attempted assassinations aside. So Sam invited Ketch to join him on a local hunt. Nothing major, in case Ketch tried to murder him again or what have you.

Ketch had to admit he was curious. He had never truly seen Sam work a case, and he’d been told that Sam was simply the best. As it turned out, these rumors were vastly understated. Sam was a convincing and effective liar, proficient in both evasion and combat, and a natural born killer. In other words, everything that made Ketch’s nether regions quiver.

Once they hunt was over, they didn’t made it three feet into the bunker before they were making out, hard and severe against a storage cabinet. Sam was always Ketch’s favorite. Sure, Dean was hostile and aggressive with the mouth of a sailor, suggesting he’d be quite the bed mate. But Ketch had a secret fetish for damaged goods, and Sam was the perfect balance of broken yet unbreakable that made Ketch want to see just how far he could bend him.

It hadn’t been entirely Ketch’s fault. Sam had certainly played his part.

“So much for friendship.” Ketch muttered smartly, directing Sam’s hips to rub against his erection as they made out against a table in an unused artifact room.

Sam huffed a laugh, grinding against him gladly. “Yeah. Wasn’t it you who said you don’t have friends because you end up either killing them or sleeping with them?”

“Mm.” Ketch hummed approvingly. He grabbed a fistful of Sam’s luxurious hair and pulled his head back, “And what was it you said in return?” He kissed Sam’s neck, holding back a prideful smile. “That it ‘had better be the latter’?”

Oh yes, it was all Sam’s fault.

Sam smiled breathlessly. “Yeah. I didn’t think you’d be all talk though.” He goaded him.

Sam was even more resilient than Ketch had expected. He immediately understood what Lady Bevell saw in him, as regrettable as it was to be reminded of her in such a moment.

Ketch planted his hand firmly on Sam’s ass and rolled their hips together. “Are you challenging me, Mr. Winchester?” He rose a brow.

“What if I am?”

Ketch smiled, then pushed Sam down onto his knees, “Then I’d have to put you in your place.”

Sam gave him a dangerously flirtatious look and began unbuckling his pants.

“That’s a good boy, Sam.” Ketch watched him fixedly, “Perhaps you American hunters are a smart lot after all.” He teased, although his voice was heady and breathless.

Sam sprung Ketch’s cock free of his trousers as casually as if he were flipping through a page of lore in the Men of Letters’ library. Ketch’s breathing went shallow. Sam flashed him another one of those promising looks that made Ketch’s knuckles go white on the table, then he opened his mouth and dove in.

Ketch swallowed and groped a hand through Sam’s hair, “Although, if you were truly smart, you’d have shorter hair. Harder for an enemy to pull.” He seemed to be speaking more to distract himself, but Sam wouldn’t let him get distracted. He licked a broad stripe up the underside of Ketch’s cock.

“What if I like it pulled?” He licked his lips.

Ketch had a response prepared, until Sam swallowed Ketch’s back into his mouth and sucked. Ketch sighed in pleasure instead.

“That’s it Sam...” He clenched his jaw.

 Ketch’s hand tightened in Sam’s hair as he bobbed about him. He found a steady, comfortable pace, making Ketch melt against the table. Soon Ketch was pulling his hair in earnest, forcing his cock down his throat. Sam craned his neck and closed his eyes, but he wasn’t just letting Ketch face fuck him – he was fucking him back. While Ketch thrust his hips off the table, making Sam’s lips brush against his hot skin, Sam’s fingers were woven into the belt loops of his pants, pulling him back and forth.

“Sam, that’s so bloody good.” Ketch panted.

Sam grinned inwardly. He could taste Ketch’s precum dripping down his throat and thickening his saliva. Sam gave Ketch a firm, claiming suck and enjoyed the shudder of Ketch’s hips and the shameless groan that followed. It made all the discomfort worth it.

“Oh, I knew you’d be naughty.” Ketch breathed. “Oh Hell. I’d take you right here, Sam, if you’d let me. Show you what it’s like to be fucked by a proper Man of Letters. Hm?”

Sam swallowed a rush of arousal. That was the most polite way anyone had ever asked to fuck him, and yet Ketch said it so savagely that Sam could feel the lust dripping off his lips.

“Can a ‘proper Man of Letters’ get the job done?” Sam flirted, enjoying the sight of Ketch so uncharacteristically riled up.

Ketch may have been breathless and overcome with need in that moment, but his old stiffness returned to him in an instant, “Oh Hell.” He muttered, then unceremoniously grabbed Sam by the hair and shoved him onto the ground.

Sam could have laughed. “There’s the Ketch I know.” He swallowed, tasting him again.

“Hm.” Ketch smiled. “I thought you hated ‘this’ Ketch?” He said, making quick work of Sam’s pants and boxers.

Sam looked sideways at him. “I do. I mean, I did. You were such a dick...”

“Apology accepted.” Ketch replied. His gaze softened as he eyed Sam’s toned ass and proud cock jutting between his legs.

“...But I always knew you’d be good in bed.” Sam finished.

Ketch’s gaze sharpened. “Very impressive, Mr. Winchester.”

Sam smiled in amusement.

 It took a while for Ketch to get Sam loosened up (“And you call me a tight ass.”), but he turned out to be quite good with his hands. Sam thought so, anyway. Ketch found some oil in a supply cabinet, and soon he had one hand on the back of Sam’s neck and three fingers inside him. Sam groaned shamelessly on the floor, but it seemed that not even Ketch’s fingers could wipe that look of defiance off his face. (“Where’d you find lube?”) Ketch didn’t mind at all. He actually preferred it that way.

At last, Ketch slid a condom on (“You just keep those on you?”) threw his tie over his shoulder, and sunk into Sam’s ass. Sam’s defiance faltered at last. Their groans fed off one another as Ketch pushed in hot and slow. Within minutes, Ketch was fucking him hard. He gave Sam all he had, while Sam shouted his approval on the floor. Ketch grit his teeth and goaded him on the whole time.

“You’re so fucking tight, Sam. Oh bloody… you feel incredible.”

“Too many… syllables… fuck harder.”

Ketch didn’t hesitate to, not when he was buried to the hilt and Sam was still talking back; still fucking back. Ketch grabbed Sam’s knee and bent it against his chest, removing his leverage. The sideways position finally seemed to do the trick. Sam gasped and grabbed a chair leg for support, knocking it over, while his other hand flew down and began stroking himself.

They were both down to one syllable in no time.

“Oh, yeah… there… fuck, Ketch!”

“Yes… that’s it, so good, Sam.”

Sam was stroking himself, tight lipped and eyes shut, while Ketch ravaged him. Ketch himself was only slightly disheveled, but that alone did wonders for Sam. He could see the lust in Ketch’s eyes and hear it in his voice. He loosened his tie as he began to sweat and threw his jacket off, redoubling his efforts. Sam groaned in encouragement.

Ketch’s hips pumped hungrily into Sam’s ass while Sam stroked himself faster than ever. Within seconds, they were both seizing up and trembling. Sam came first, spasming in bliss with his cheek pressed against the tile floor. He moaned hotly and arched up like he couldn’t get enough of Ketch’s cock. Ketch came within seconds. He pulled out quickly and stroked himself through it, groaning heavily. He sank down into a sitting position against the table leg while he caught his breath. It took him longer than Sam.

Sam sat up groggily, noting the mess they’d made.

“Why did you pull out?” He asked. “I thought you had a condom.”

“I did.” Ketch nodded breathlessly. “But olive oil breaks down latex you know.”

Sam considered this as he tossed Ketch his clothes. He had taken off the most, yet was still the more fully dressed. “We had olive oil? In the artifact room?” Sam asked, getting dressed.

Ketch took a deep breath, then smirked slightly. “Well, holy oil is derived from it so... I’d say yes, you do.”

Sam blinked. “Holy oil? Really?”

Ketch rose a brow.

Sam scoffed. “Well at least I’m angel resistant.”

 After the room was cleaned, Sam and Ketch decided that what happened in the artifact room stayed in the artifact room. Frankly, it was nobody’s business except theirs. Well, theirs and the report filed away on Ketch’s laptop. But it was like Sam said, Ketch didn’t work for the British Men of Letters anymore, so there was no reason anyone needed to find out at all.

You Cannot Change, What You Refuse to Confront

Breaking news, being an adult is difficult. Well, I say that because this year I've been thrust into the all but one of the typical trappings and responsibilities of adulthood, and thus far I've been failing at all of them. That's right, 0 for 0. Marriage, not doing great. Keeping up a job and rent? failing. Every month I fear being evicted. I suppose I have a rather good job. Relatively simple work for very good pay. On that front my greatest enemy is truly myself. I went from making barely 2,300 a month to nearly 4000, but now my greatest issue seems to be successfully making it to work and doing the job right. Sigh. My rent however is actually outrageous. I am paying nearly what my mother is for the mortgage on her home, and I'm staying in a one bedroom, and utilities are all separate. Really makes me miss Stockton, to be frank. Though, for all my booing and self woe-ing, I do recognize that my enemy is truly myself. My soon to be ex-wife is living with me and admittedly has not been very helpful to me in this new phase of living. Though, that too is my own doing. I was quite insistent that I was capable of handling all of this on my own. And I do still believe that I am, but I am without guidance. No one to check up on me and keep me from making foolish mistakes. I'm learning now that that is one of the most difficult parts of all of this. Or at least, the most damning.

The Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance

The City of Stockton provides Stockton tenants with relocation payments when suffering temporary or permanent displacement from their homes due to unsafe or substandard conditions cited by the government.  Codified at Chapter 1.52 of the Stockton Municipal Code and officially entitled the “Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants” Ordinance, the Stockton Tenant Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance provides Stockton tenants with predetermined relocation payments whenever their homes are red-tagged and no longer habitable.

Is My Unit Covered Under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance?

Most likely, yes.  The Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance covers, “[a]ny tenant who is displaced from any residential unit.”  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.020.  Only tenants in rental units owned by the City of Stockton, the City of Stockton Redevelopment Agency, the San Joaquin Housing Authority, or any other government agency are exempt.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.090.  Consequently, nearly every Stockton tenant is covered by the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance.

Does the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance Protect Subtenants?

Most likely, yes.  The Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance covers, “[a]ny tenant who is displaced from any residential unit.”  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.020.  So, the law likely covers subtenants and other authorized occupants, except where the rental unit is owned by the City of Stockton, the City of Stockton Redevelopment Agency, the San Joaquin Housing Authority, or any other government agency are exempt.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.090.

Are Property Managers and Other Landlord Agents Required to Contribute to Relocation Payments Made to Stockton Tenants? 

It is unlikely that the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance requires property managers and other landlord agents to contribute to relocation payments owed to Stockton tenants.  While the Ordinance lacks definitions, the Ordinance only refers to property owners, and no other person or entity, as being required to satisfy relocation payment obligations towards Stockton tenants.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.020.

Under What Circumstances Does A Stockton Tenant Become Entitled to Relocation Payments Under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance?

A tenant becomes eligible for relocation payments from the property owner when the Stockton tenant is displaced from their home due to a notice and order to vacate for unsafe or hazardous living conditions issued by the City of Stockton  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.020.

What is the Amount of Relocation Payments Stockton Tenants Must Receive Under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance?

Under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance, Stockton tenants are entitled to relocation benefits in an amount equal to the lower of either two times the Stockton tenant’s current rent or an amount equal to the Stockton tenant’s monthly rent at their new home.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.030.

Who is Responsible for Paying Stockton Tenant Relocation Payments Under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance? 

As specified above, property owners are responsible for paying relocation payments to Stockton tenants displaced from their rental units due to unsafe or hazardous living conditions.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.020.

Typically, the Notice of Violation will provide the Stockton tenant reasonable time before the displacement, such as sixty (60) days’ notice.  However, for imminently unsafe or hazardous conditions – likely where human life is endangered – the City of Stockton may require the Stockton tenant to vacate within seventy-two (72) hours or less time.  When the Stockton tenant is required to vacate within seventy-two (72) hours or less time, the Stockton tenant is also entitled to:

The reasonable and actual costs for up to two (2) weeks of temporary housing;

Moving expenses; and,

The cost to store personal property for up to two (2) weeks.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.040.

When Citing a Rental Unit, Will the City of Stockton Provide Notice of a Stockton Tenant’s Right to Relocation Payments Under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance?

Yes, the City of Stockton will provide both the property owner and Stockton tenant with a notice summarizing the Stockton tenant’s right to relocation benefits from the property owner.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.080.  Please note that the City’s failure to provide this notice does not relieve the property owner of their obligation to provide relocation payments.

Does the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance Provide A Deadline for Paying Relocation Payments to Stockton Tenants?

Yes, the property owner must provide relocation payments within ten (10) days after the Notice to Vacate date.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.060.  However, the property owner may appeal the determination that relocation benefits are owed to the Stockton tenant.

Are There Any Circumstances Where Stockton Tenants are not Entitled to Collect Relocation Benefits? 

Yes, Stockton tenants are not entitled to collect relocation payments under the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance when:

The Stockton tenant caused or substantially contributed to the unsafe or hazardous living conditions giving rise to the Notice to Vacate, as determined by the City of Stockton;

The rental unit becomes unsafe or hazardous as a result of an earthquake, flood, fire, or other natural disaster unrelated to safety or code violations;

The Stockton tenant refuses to move into a habitable unit, as determined by the city, available to the tenant within sixty (60) days following the vacate date.  Stockton Municipal Code § 1.52.070.

Does the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance Contain A Private Right of Action?

No, the Stockton Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants Ordinance does not contain a private right of action.  If your landlord refuses to provide relocation payments under the Ordinance, contact the City Attorney by phone.

A majority of New Yorkers support cannabis legalization, poll finds

Support for legalizing marijuana in ny outpaces opposition by a margin of two to at least one , consistent with a replacement poll.Respondents were asked to rate their level of support for a spread of policy issues. On legalizing cannabis, 61 percent of latest Yorkers said they're in favor of enacting the reform at the state level, compared to 30 percent who are opposed. Nine percent said they're undecided.In a separate question, sixty percent of these surveyed similarly said they back federal marijuana legalization, while 30 percent said they're against the policy and 10 percent weren't sure.Demographic breakdowns weren't made available for any of the new cannabis data.The survey from Spectrum News and Ipsos—which involved interviews with 1,451 adults from October 7-19—was released days after Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said that the state will legalize marijuana “soon,” adding that tax income generated from cannabis sales will contribute to economic recovery efforts amid the coronavirus pandemic.“There are tons of reasons to urge it done, but one among the advantages is it also brings in revenue, and every one states—but especially this state—we need revenue and we're getting to be searching the cabinets for revenue,” he said. “And i feel that's getting to put marijuana over the highest .”Cuomo has included legalization in his last two budget proposals, but negotiations between his office and therefore the legislature fell through both times, with sticking points like how cannabis tax income are going to be allocated preventing a deal from being reached.A top adviser of his said earlier this month that the plan is to undertake again to legalize cannabis in ny in early 2021.“We're performing on this. We're getting to reintroduce this in our budget in January,” he said. “We think we will catch on done by April 1.”Cuomo was similarly asked about legalization as a way to offset the deficit caused by the pandemic in May.While he said it is the federal government's “obligation as a part of managing this national pandemic that they supply financial relief to state and native governments,” he added that “I support legalization of marijuana passage. I've worked very hard to pass it.”“I believe we'll , but we didn't catch on done this last session because it is a complicated issue and it's to be wiped out a comprehensive way,” he said.Cuomo indicated in April that he thought the 2020 legislative session was “effectively over” for the year and raised doubts that lawmakers could pass cannabis reform vote remotely via video conferencing amid social distancing measures.Assembly legislator Crystal Peoples-Stokes (D) made similar comments when asked about the policy in April, though she appeared to signal that she laid partial blame for the failure to enact reform on the governor prioritizing other issues during the pandemic.In June, a senator said the legislature should include cannabis legalization during a criminal justice reform package, making the case that the about-face may be a necessary step especially amid debates over policing reform. that did not come to pass, however.The ny State Association of Counties said during a report released last month that legalizing marijuana for adult use “will provide the state and counties with resources for public health education and technical assistance” to combat the pandemic.Meanwhile, the state Senate has approved several modest marijuana reform bills in recent months.The chamber passed a bill in July that broadens the pool of individuals eligible to possess their low-level marijuana convictions automatically expunged. That was preceded by a Senate choose favor of legislation to stop tenants from being evicted solely due to their legal use of medical marijuana.Thanks to a bill expanding cannabis decriminalization within the state that the governor signed last year, the ny State Unified Court System made an announcement last month outlining steps that folks can fancy clear their records for prior marijuana convictions.Locally, an area law enacted in ny City this summer bans pre-employment drug testing for marijuana for many positions. it had been finalized in July following regulators' approval of certain exemptions.In other polling news, voters in neighboring New Jersey appear positioned to approve a ballot referendum to legalize cannabis next week.A survey released last week shows that 65 percent of latest Jersey voters are in favor of the reform proposal.The results are statistically according to the prior three polls of New Jersey voters from an equivalent firm also together from Fairleigh Dickinson University, which similarly found roughly two to at least one support for the measure. A separate survey released earlier this month by Stockton University showed three to at least one support for legalizing cannabis among New Jersey voters.

Melvin Carter, the mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota, watched his city’s twin, Minneapolis, burn this spring. Sparked by the killing of George Floyd, many people gathered in protest and fury over his May 25 death and the treatment of Black people at the hands of police. Carter knew his city’s citizens were aggrieved not only by decades of mistreatment, but also by the entrenched poverty that accompanied it.

“We have people in our community who work 60 hours a week and still scrape by to feed their children and pay their rent,” said Carter. “Whole neighborhoods that are in deep poverty and doing the best they can.”

A month before Floyd’s death, Carter’s office had provided 1,265 families one-time payments of $1,000 through a temporary program called the Bridge Fund. The emergency relief diminished some hardships, but hasn’t been nearly enough. Carter wants a longer-term solution.

As the pandemic decimates the bank accounts of American families, some mayors across the country like Carter are proposing guaranteed income experiments, or universal basic income, as a simple, scalable and equitable solution for both families and local economies.

The March stimulus package, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, they say, showed that giving direct cash to people works. The $1,200 checks from the federal government that many Americans received, the Paycheck Protection Program — which helped employers make their payroll — and the $600 weekly unemployment assistance payments kept many people afloat.

But that assistance was limited and weekly checks expired at the end of July. In their absence, these mayors believe the need for universal income has become more urgent and could help address racial disparities that COVID-19 has exacerbated.

Led by Mayor Michael Tubbs of Stockton, California, a coalition of 16 city leaders from across the country announced Mayors for Guaranteed Income in June, an initiative meant to show the merits of a monthly check. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti signed on, as did Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, Pittsburgh Mayor William Peduto and others.

Tubbs told NBC’s “TODAY” show in June that a guaranteed income is a step toward “abolishing poverty.” But the money, unlike a universal basic income, would only go to those in need, not to everyone regardless of wealth.

The city of Stockton has been piloting a program for around 18 months, providing $500 a month to 125 people. During the pandemic, about 45 percent of that money went to food, Tubbs said. Much of the rest went to providing other essentials for the family, like rent. While the mayors’ joint venture was in the works before the pandemic, they believe the pandemic and protests only strengthened their case.

Carter signed onto the new guaranteed income initiative in June, and says he believes it will help bridge the poverty gap permanently, by providing direct, monthly cash payments to residents of his city in need, every month. No strings attached.

Universal Basic Income is a centuries-old idea that has long been floated but rarely implemented. The premise is simple: Give people money and trust them to use it for their needs. It has, in recent years, been taken out of economics theory papers and put to work in experiments in Kenya, Finland, Canada, Namibia and Brazil.

Critics have long worried aid recipients will spend lavishly, or use the money as an excuse not to work. For champions of a universal basic income, Finland’s pilot,which gave 2,000 unemployed residents a monthly check for two years, 2017 and 2018, failed in exactly this manner: Those who received basic income weren’t picking up jobs faster, and they only showed a small boost in mental well-being and perceived economic security when compared to the control group.

It wasn’t the impact advocates had hoped for, though experts say there were clear flaws in the program itself, i ncluding a rush to set it up, underfunding, diminishing other benefits to those who received the cash, and limiting the trial to those already unemployed.

Over the years, guaranteed income has been endorsed across the ideological spectrum for different reasons, with champions ranging from Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Black Panthers, to the conservative economist Milton Friedman to right-wing political scientist Charles Murray, though it has never truly captured the attention of lawmakers. Americans on the whole have not been particularly keen on the idea of a universal basic income, which is thought to run contrary to U.S. ideals of hard work and self-made worth.

Yet as inequality and the cost of living skyrocketed, it has started to draw the attention of the greater American public. When 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, an entrepreneur, offered up a form of universal basic income as a central part of his plank during the primaries, Silicon Valley elites threw their support behind the idea, and Yang brought the concept to a wider audience, arguing it would bridge the gap as jobs continue to be automated away.

And then the pandemic hit, and with it the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

“COVID-19 has shone a bright, hot light on our systemic failures,” said Mayor Libby Schaaf of Oakland, California. “Oakland has seen more than a doubling in homelessness, and I am terrified that once these eviction moratoriums expire, we will see a homelessness armageddon.”

Schaaf is another signatory of the Mayors for Guaranteed Income statement of principles. Her city was once thought of as the working-class sibling to San Francisco. In recent years Oakland has become unaffordable for many who’ve called it home for generations: Along with rising homelessness, gentrification is in overdrive, the poverty rate is creeping toward 20 percent, and a housing crisis looms ever larger. Schaaf says a guaranteed income is “powerful in its simplicity.”

Schaaf, who has also been criticized by activists for being too cozy with developers, acknowledged it is “not the end of the work,” saying issues like housing costs and fair wages still need to be addressed, but says she believes that, in the meantime, a guaranteed income could significantly help people in her city, especially as the pandemic persists.

The coalition of mayors also believes the universality of the idea is crucial to its success, and there are lessons to be learned from the CARES Act.

“CARES was a pretty important moment of recognition that direct financial support to people is a really essential tool,” said Dorian Warren, the president of Community Change, a Washington-based national organization that works to build power for low-income people of color. Still, a one-time payment sent to Americans under a certain income threshold cannot lift up a person or a family the way a monthly check would, Warren said. Noncitizens didn’t receive a check, and supplemental unemployment assistance was tied to lost pre-pandemic employment.

“Americans needed an income floor before the crisis, they clearly need one during the crisis, and they need one after the crisis,” Warren said, who has argued that universal basic income could function as something close to reparations for Black Americans.

Other post-mortems of the CARES act underscored the impact of unequal fund distribution. A Columbia University Center on Poverty and Social Policy study released in June showed that had the CARES act been equally distributed, it could have reduced poverty to pre-pandemic levels, but it left out many who needed it the most. Another study published by Accountable.US in July showed congressional districts with the highest Black populations received up to $13 billion less in Paycheck Protection Program funding than districts with the lowest percent of Black residents. Now, experts believe the government stimulus might actually widen already existing wealth gaps.

Warren said it’s precisely because of the failures of the CARES Act that the country needs help that is more universal, and inclusive. He pointed to Mayors for a Guaranteed Income as a possible way to get there.

Oakland’s Schaaf said a guaranteed income is “probably the most powerful antidote for racial disparities” that she could enact policy wise. “It all comes down to resources at the end of the day.”

But critics, even those on the left, are quick to say a guaranteed income isn’t a panacea, and comes with the potential to drain already scant government funds for existing social services.

Indivar Dutta-Gupta, co-executive director of the Center on Poverty and Equality at Georgetown Law, said cities don’t have the luxury of choosing between pre-existing social services and a guaranteed income.

“People need both a minimum income and high quality public goods and services,” he said in an email. “For any given need, such as having access to high quality early care and education or affording diapers for a baby, providing cash or the necessary good or service are not strong substitutes for each other.”

Some conservatives, however, support universal basic income precisely because they think America should choose between guaranteed income or a broader system of safety nets. Liberal critics often worry universal basic income will lead to the defunding of other programs, while other policymakers criticize the price tag of sending checks to tens of millions every month.

Others worry universal income might not actually reach those who need it the most, like youth who are homeless or housing insecure, said Maurice Gattis, an associate professor of social work at Virginia Commonwealth University. Gattis says prevention is crucial to solving poverty, and believes a housing and health care guarantee would do more to help than a check each month.

The federal government’s pandemic relief “exposed the gaps in our system,” he said. And there is no reason to believe monthly checks would necessarily fill that gap. To get the stimulus check as quick as possible, you needed to have a bank account. But that excludes those without a checking account, not to mention those without a permanent address for a check to even be mailed.

Carter, St. Paul’s mayor, understands the criticisms. He still feels the evidence points to the efficacy of guaranteed income.

“We are arguing for a route to a far more resilient and sustainable economy for the entire country,” he said. “Doing nothing is absolutely not an option.”

In the decade following the [San Francisco State Strike], several themes would reverberate in the struggles in Asian American communities across the nation. These included housing and anti-eviction campaigns, efforts to defend education rights, union organizing drives, campaigns for jobs and social services, and demands for democratic rights, equality, and justice. Mo Nishida, an organizer in Los Angeles, recalls the broad scope of movement activities in his city:

“Our movement flowered. At one time, we had active student organizations on every campus around Los Angeles, fought for ethnic studies, equal opportunity programs, high potential programs at UCLA, and for students doing community work in “Serve the People” programs. In the community, we had, besides [Asian American] Hard Core, four area youth-oriented groups working against drugs (on the Westside, Eastside, Gardena, and the Virgil district). There were also parents’ groups, which worked with parents of the youth and more.”

In Asian American communities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose, Seattle, New York, and Honolulu, activists created “serve the people” organizations— mass networks built on the principles of “mass line” organizing. Youth initiated many of these organizations— some from college campuses and others from high schools and the streets— but other members of the community, including small-business people, workers, senior citizens, and new immigrants, soon joined.

 The mass character of community struggles is the least appreciated aspect of our movement today. It is commonly believed that the movement involved only college students. In fact, a range of people, including high-school youth, tenants, small-business people, former prison inmates, former addicts, the elderly, and workers embraced the struggles.

Golden State Warriors End Todd Fuller Partnership; Deal Center to Utah Jazz

On February 4th, 1999, the Golden State Warriors traded center Todd Fuller to the Utah Jazz for a 2000 second round draft pick (Chris Porter).

Coming off a 36-46 finish to the 1995-96 campaign, the Golden State Warriors were looking for help with the 11th pick in the 1996 NBA Draft. With players like Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O’Neal, Steve Nash and Peja Stojakovic available, the Warriors opted for big man Todd Fuller. Fuller had been productive as a four-year player at NC State. In his senior season, he made the All-ACC first team after averaging 20.9 PPG and 9.9 RPG. 

The Warriors got off to a 3-10 start during the 1996-97 campaign. They never recovered and finished well short of a playoff appearance with a 30-52 record. Fuller began his NBA career starting at center for Golden State, but lost his spot nine games into the season. He ended up spending most of the season as a reserve behind veteran Felton Spencer. Overall, Fuller compiled 4.1 PPG and 3.3 RPG in 75 appearances (18 starts) and 12.7 MPG. 

After the season, head coach Rick Adelman was fired and the Warriors replaced him with P.J. Carleismo. The Warriors made some moves at center by trading Chris Mullin to the Indiana Pacers for Fuller’s 1996 draft class peer Erick Dampier. The team also drafted center Adonal Foyle from Colgate with their first round pick. 

The 1997-98 Warriors were a miserable bunch. The team began the season 1-13. At that point, star Latrell Sprewell choked coach Carleismo in practice and he would be suspended for the rest of the season. The team also made three trades during the season including a deal with Philadelphia that sent Joe Smith to the Sixers. At the end of the season, Golden State finished 19-63.

Fuller played less, but ended his second pro season with nearly identical numbers to his first year. The 6′11″ Fuller managed 4.0 PPG and 3.4 RPG in 57 games and 10.8 MPG.

The Warriors gave up on Fuller near the start of the lockout shortened 1998-99 season. Golden State was mocked for selecting Fuller over the previously mentioned names that all went on to become All-Stars. The Warriors looked to get off of Fuller’s salary in a trade that saw them acquire a meager second round pick.

Fuller ended his run in Golden State with 4.0 PPG and 3.4 RPG in 132 career games. He shot 43% on field goals and 69% from the free-throw line in that time.

The Jazz had to waive guard Saddi Washington to make room for Fuller on their roster. Washington had originally made Utah’s roster out of training camp.

Fuller went from a perennial cellar dweller in Golden State, to a title contender in the Utah Jazz. With Michael Jordan retired, the Jazz were one of the clear cut favorites for a title. Utah had Greg Ostertag and Greg Foster manning the middle, but Foster entered the lockout-shortened season recovering from a broken ankle.

Fuller was given some minutes as a backup during the 1998-99 season. The 6′11 big man appeared in 42 games (2 starts) and compiled 3.4 PPG and 2.4 RPG in 11.0 MPG. 

Utah started off the season with a bang, winning nine of their first 10 games. At the 40-game mark, the Jazz had the best record in the NBA at 32-8. They went 5-5 over the final ten games to finish 37-13 and in a tie with the San Antonio Spurs for the first seed. The Spurs owned the head-to-head tiebreaker (2-1), so Utah dropped from first to the third seed in the Western Conference.

The Jazz went on to the playoffs where they battled the Sacramento Kings in the first round. Expected to be an easy series, the Jazz dominated Game One with a 117-87 drubbing. Sacramento responded well in Game Two, stealing homecourt with a 101-90 win.

The third game was tight and went into overtime. Vlade Divac made two jump hooks late to give Sacramento an 83-81 edge with 22 second left. Fuller missed two free throws that would’ve tied the game, and John Stockton missed a three at the buzzer, giving Sacramento a stunning 2-1 series lead.

Facing elimination, the Jazz battled back on the road in Game Four. Facing a one-point deficit with 7.2 seconds left, Stockton managed to shake free from the defense off a Karl Malone screen and nailed a long two to give Utah a 90-89 lead with 00.7 seconds left on the clock. The Kings could never get off a shot and Utah managed to take the series back home for a decisive Game Five.

The series deciding game was close throughout and went to overtime. Despite cold shooting nights from Stockton (1-for-12) and Malone (6-for-19), the Jazz managed to pull through with an 11-4 advantage in overtime, They won the game 99-92 and the series 3-2. Fuller played in all five first round games and produced 2.2 PPG on 33.3% shooting and 3.6 RPG in 10.8 MPG.

Utah advanced to the Semifinals where they faced the 33-17 Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers built a 15-point advantage in the first half of the series opener, but Utah got back into the game. It was a close game, with Portland leading by four points going into the fourth quarter. The Blazers collapsed as Utah outscored them 19-5 to win 93-83.

The second game in Utah was tight once again. Portland managed to take a two-point lead late after a Greg Anthony free throw. With 9.2 seconds left, John Stockton missed a potential game-tying layup. Portland ended up tying the series with an 84-81 win.

Game Three in Portland saw the Blazers use a 25-2 run in the first half to power their way to a comfortable 97-87 victory. Blazers guard Isaiah Rider (24 points) guided Portland to a 3-1 series lead after a close 81-75 win. The Jazz got 23 points from Karl Malone and 22 points from Bryon Russell in a comfortable 88-71 win that prevented Utah’s playoff elimination. 

Game Six in Portland was close. Utah managed to get within two points on a Bryon Russell layup and Jeff Hornacek free throw with 1:21 left. Portland outscored Utah 12-2 in the final minute-plus to win the game 92-80 and the series 4-2. Fuller appeared in five of the six Conference Semifinals games and put up 3.0 PPG and 2.0 RPG in 10.2 MPG.

Fuller became a free agent after the ‘98-‘99 season. Utah and Fuller both expressed interest in a new deal. Fuller showed his commitment to the Jazz by playing in Summer League for the Jazz team despite not having a new contract. Fuller largely disappointed in Summer League and never signed a contract with Utah. Fuller ended up signing a deal with the Charlotte Hornets for the 1999-00 season.

The second rounder that the Warriors acquired from Utah became the 55th overall selection in the 2000 NBA Draft. The pick was used on forward Chris Porter from Auburn. A former SEC Player of the Year and second-team All-American during his junior season, Porter and Auburn's performance tailed off in his senior campaign. Porter's individual numbers dropped and he became a news headline after news broke that he had accepted money from a sports agent to prevent his mother from being evicted from her home. The infraction cost Porter the last eight games of the college season.

The whole scenario had dropped Porter from a likely first round pick to a late second rounder. A problem for Porter was his lack of a true position on the court. A power forward in college, Porter was the size of a traditional small forward in the NBA, but he lacked a jump shot. 

The 2000-01 Warriors struggled from the jump. The team lost seven of their first eight games. Things would not improve much as they finished a Western Conference-worst 17-65. Porter was able to see some action in his rookie season and start multiple games. The 6′8″ forward appeared in 51 games (35 starts) and posted 8.6 PPG on 38.9% from the field, 3.7 RPG, 1.2 APG and 0.9 SPG in 22.5 MPG.

In late August of 2001, Porter was arrested on drug possession charges in Alabama. Soon after, the forward would be a throw-in in a three-team trade with the Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers in late October of 2001.

Todd Fuller on the pressure he felt in Golden State (via Jazz.com):

“The franchise was really struggling, and they were looking for a savior every year it seemed like. I didn't fit that bill and never have through my career. It put tons of pressure on me, which was counterproductive.”

How he feels no pressure in Utah:

“I can certainly say it has helped that I can come in and not have all the excess pressure and feeling like I have all the eyes on me. Of course I’m the new guy here so everybody is going to be watching me anyway, but I don't feel like I have the extreme pressure that I had when I was with the Warriors.”

How Utah has more confidence due to veteran leadership:

“Here you’ve got a veteran base of players as opposed to the Warriors, especially my first year or two, where we only had a couple veterans. We’ve got some great players here in Karl [Malone] and John [Stockton] who are used to winning and used to success. And the confidence level is higher here than it was with the Warriors my first year.”

On his future with the Jazz and pending free agency:

“I don't even think about [free agency] now. There’s today, and then the next day, step by step, that's the only way I can look at things. There's a ton of basketball left this season, so there's still a long way to go.”

On the argument that the Warriors have nothing to show for recent lottery picks (via SF Gate):

“They’re going to have some backbone to the argument if they (critics) say that. Joe [Smith] was here just a couple of years and he was traded. I was here just a couple of years and I’m traded. I can’t argue there's nothing to show for it at the moment.”

Golden State Warriors general manager Garry St. Jean on why the trade was made (via SF Gate):

“The opportunity was there to acquire a pick where there wasn’t a salary involved coming back. Those were the key things.”

Utah Jazz vice president of basketball operations Scott Layden on Fuller’s development early on in Utah (via Jazz.com):

“A lot of people think you’ve got to wait three or four years for a big guy before he’ll actually make a contribution. So maybe we were fortunate he was able to fit into this system and be at the right time of when he was ready.”

Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan on how being in the right place at the right time is important for Fuller (via Jazz.com):

“Being in the right place at the right time is a very big factor in this league. Some players will have a chance maybe in one situation where they didn’t in another. If you realize the situation you’re in, you take advantage of it. One of the things that’s really unfortunate a lot of times is, you get a lottery player like [Fuller] was, expectations are high. They expect him to be a Jabbar or somebody like that. That’s really unfair. Then a guy like Todd comes in here and it's just ‘come and play.’ You don’t have to worry about where you were picked in the draft.”
