Citizenship can be difficult to prove because different laws apply to different birth years, she said. (/deportcitizen)

Dylan Corselius Willson, 22, died driving home from Isla Vista when his car hit a tree on the Highway 101 shoulder near Las Positas Road at 1:40 a.m. on 7/14. Earlier that evening, Kyle Martinez, also 22, was badly injured in the course of taking photographs while sitting in the window frame of a vehicle, which flipped over onto him on the return trip from Little Caliente Hot Springs.

La Conchita residents’ lawsuit against Ventura County, in the wake of the 2005 landslide that destroyed 13 houses and killed 10 people, was concluded on 7/14. Ventura County Superior Court Judge Vincent O’Neill ruled the county was only liable for property losses, not loss of life. Plaintiffs claimed that a county-built retaining wall contributed to the landslide. A separate case, accusing La Conchita Ranch Company of contributing to the slide by over-watering the orchard above the town, is still in court. (/conchitavcounty)
