City's motion for judgment on the pleadings granted.
The court granted the City's motion for judgment on the pleadings. On the California Environmental Quality Act claim, the court rejected the plaintiff's theory that taxis would drive to the airport without passengers, and that other types of medallion holders would return to the city without passengers, resulting in increased emissions. The court said the concerns were "too speculative or unlikely to be considered reasonably foreseeable."
