City of Littleton v. Board of County Commissioners

This case arises out of the 1987 relocation of the Arapahoe County district courts to the “Judicial Complex” in unincorporated Arapahoe County. The City of Littleton (Littleton) filed an action in Denver District Court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the relocation. After a hearing on Littleton’s motion for a preliminary injunction, the trial court denied relief and dismissed the case, concluding that section 13-5-119(2), 6A C.R.S. (1987), authorized the relocation. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. 1
