Defendants refused to accept the individual Plaintiffs’
vouchers, and declined to enter into contracts with the Oak-
land Housing Authority, which was a condition precedent to
Defendants’ being eligible to be paid for the vouchers. Defen-
dants notified certain individual Plaintiffs that they would be
evicted if they failed to pay the full amount of rent then being
charged by Defendants. Plaintiffs again returned to the federal
district court. On January 29, 2010, the district court handed
down a preliminary injunction, ordering Defendants to refrain
from collecting, except through enhanced vouchers, the
amount of the increased rents covered by the vouchers; to
refrain from evicting any tenant for nonpayment of the
amount covered by the enhanced vouchers; and to take all
steps necessary to enter into and execute Housing Assistance
Payments (HAP) contracts with the Oakland Housing Author-
ity. JURISDICTION AND STANDARD OF REVIEW
