News Editors

ADVISORY...for Tuesday (March 11)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)


WHAT:   Humberto and Sylvia (nee Lopez) Dominguez will hold a press
        conference TODAY AT 11:00 AM AT SAN FRANCISCO CITY HALL,
        GOODLETT PLACE STEPS to announce the filing of legal
        proceedings against the City and County of San Francisco.
        They will also address the issue of why the San Francisco
        Police Department has yet to issue a traffic citation or
        warrant for the arrest of Sebastian Garcia, who allegedly
        drove the Muni Railway truck that killed their daughter,
        Elizabeth Dominguez.

        TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIZABETH DOMINGUEZ'S 5TH BIRTHDAY. Her
        parents will speak out for the first time since Elizabeth
        was killed on February 11, 2003. They will issue a call to
        action to commemorate Elizabeth's death. They will be
        accompanied by their attorneys, Brian J. Panish and Kevin
        Boyle, with the Santa Monica, CA law firm of Greene, Broillet,
        Panish & Wheeler, LLP (www.gbpwlaw.com), and Kirk B. Bernard
        with The Law Offices of Kirk B. Bernard in Marina del Rey, CA.

BACKGROUND:

        On February 11, 2003, Elizabeth, age 4, was walking home from
        her preschool (Buena Vista Alternative Elementary School)
        along with her mother, baby brother and other friends. They
        were near the intersection of 24th Street and Potrero Avenue
        in San Francisco's Mission District when a collision allegedly
        caused by Muni Railway truck driver Sebastian Garcia pinned
        Elizabeth between the wall of a building and the truck,
        killing the little girl.

        Since Elizabeth's death, noticeable changes to the
        intersection of 24th Street and Potrero Avenue have taken
        place, including the posting of "walk, don't walk" signs, the
        painting of yellow pedestrian crossing lines, and the
        installing of photographic traffic enforcement equipment.
        Muni Railway truck driver Sebastian Garcia has yet to be
        cited by the San Francisco police for allegedly running a red
        light and causing a fatal traffic accident.

WHEN:   TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 2003 AT 11:00 AM

PLACE:  San Francisco City Hall, Goodlett Place Steps
        1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place
        San Francisco, CA.
