加州圣迭戈：加拉格尔广场噪音诉讼开庭 法官有望裁决教士队音乐会是否违规
加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县圣迭戈市消息：加拉格尔广场噪音诉讼11月6日在圣迭戈高等法院开庭审理，法官卡罗琳·卡耶蒂（Carolyn Caietti）有望当日作出裁决。
这起诉讼由居民团体「关注加拉格尔广场噪音的居民」提起，起诉市政府与圣迭戈教士队，诉讼已持续三年，今年7月的调解努力以失败告终。原告要求法院发布强制令，责令市政府执行现行噪音条例，并要求教士队降低其露天音乐会的音量。市政府与教士队则辩称，加拉格尔广场位于球场区内，属于许可的特别活动场地，运营合法。
案件争议焦点之一是市议会9月通过的第11项条款，该条款将许可场地排除在噪音法规适用范围之外，原告质疑该条款的合法性。法官也可能先发布初步裁决，而非当日作出最终决定。裁决结果将决定市中心居民与球场娱乐活动之间的噪音之争走向。
Gallagher Square Noise Lawsuit Goes to Court as Judge Weighs Padres Concerts
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The Gallagher Square noise lawsuit went before San Diego Superior Court on November 6, with Judge Carolyn Caietti expected to rule the same day.
The suit was brought by the resident group Residents Concerned About Gallagher Square Noise against the city and the San Diego Padres. It has run for three years, and a mediation effort failed in July. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction ordering the city to enforce its existing noise ordinance and requiring the Padres to lower the volume of the square's outdoor concerts. The city and the Padres argue that Gallagher Square sits within the ballpark district and operates lawfully as a permitted special-events venue.
One focus of the dispute is Item 11, adopted by the City Council in September, which exempts permitted venues from the noise rules; the plaintiffs challenge its legality. The judge may instead issue a tentative ruling rather than a final decision on the day. The outcome will shape the noise dispute between downtown residents and ballpark entertainment.
