A federal magistrate judge recommended Monday that Lisa Sweeney-Miran’s lawsuit against the City of Boulder should go forward, after the city filed a motion to dismiss the suit in March 2024. Sweeney-Miran also alleged in her suit that the city coerced her to withdraw from the lawsuit ahead of her 2022 appointment to the POP. The city also contended that she withdrew from the camping ban lawsuit voluntarily. However, the claim that the city unconstitutionally coerced Sweeney-Miran into withdrawing from the camping ban lawsuit should be dismissed, the magistrate said in the filing. The city also filed a motion Feb. 14 to withdraw its arguments to dismiss the claim of First Amendment retaliation.
