Unfortunately, it was an appeal by the city of San Diego that was dismissed.

A federal appeals court dismissed the city of San Diego's appeal yesterday of a now-irrelevant $5,000 per day fine imposed by a federal judge in May in the legal fight over the Mount Soledad cross.

In a brief ruling, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the city's appeal was moot because it no longer controls the land that the La Jolla landmark sits atop. The battle over the cross continues. Two lawsuits challenging the land transfer are pending in federal court. Key hearings and a potential trial in those cases are now scheduled for July. Nuts. They're going to fight over the transfer of the land to the federal government last summer. IMO, they should just leave it alone.
