Berkeley sues United States Postal Service over pending sale of historic building
The city of Berkeley filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the United States Postal Service, alleging that it took steps toward selling the Berkeley Post Office before publicly evaluating historic impacts as required under both the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
The suit, filed in federal court, requests a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction seeking to prevent the sale of the post office. U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup granted the restraining order Wednesday, preventing the USPS and its employees from selling the post office until a hearing on the preliminary injunction is completed.
A preliminary injunction is an order entered in court to restrain a party from continuing with a course of action until the case has been adjudicated.
In October, the USPS disclosed that it had entered into an escrow agreement for the sale of the post office. The suit alleges that it refused to reveal the terms of its proposed sale, the name of the future owner or the future use of the building.

My friend its a signed contract with the Blum group, remember he’s Sen. Feinstein pillow-mate. Enough said.
I think they should sue Donahoe personally. He’s the responsible party giving the orders. Hit the jerk where it hurts.
