Oliva Trial Moved to Alameda County

Hercules' case against Nelson Oliva and his three daughters will move to Alameda County.

The court motion for the Olivas, City Attorney Patrick Tang announced Tuesday.

A hearing for the motion was scheduled for Wednesday, but because the request to have their case heard outside of Contra Costa County went unopposed, a ruling was made the day before the scheduled hearing.

"Alameda county is close enough for us," Tang said.

The city is suing the Olivas for $3 million.

A hearing to dismiss the case against Oliva and his daughters was also scheduled for Wednesday. That hearing has been moved to Alameda County at an unknown date and time, a representative of Contra Costa County Superior Court said Wednesday.
