29. MANNING seeks temporary and permanent injunctive relief from this
Defendants WHITE and GRANADO to remove BASABE from the list of qualified
which should be granted sparingly, which must be based upon a showing of the
following criteria: (1) The likelihood of irreparable harm; (2) the unavailability of

Group II when he clearly does NOT meet the eligibility requirements set by the
City Charter to qualify to run for City Commission, the Plaintiff and the other
qualified electors in the City of Miami Beach will be damaged and irreparably
harmed by a candidacy of someone who has violated the City of Miami Beach
Charter.

secure votes from electors in Miami Beach when he has not resided there for a

his oath to unsuspecting voters. Without an injunction removing BASABE from
the ballot, the Plaintiff and the voters in Miami Beach have no other adequate
as the information is clear that BASABE was NOT a resident of Miami Beach on
September 10, 2020, a year before he attempted to qualify to run for City
Commission. BASABE met none of the criteria required by the law as set forth
in Perez in order to have been considered a resident of Miami Beach. He was not
registered to vote in Miami Beach and his driver’s license and other
documentation did not have a Miami Beach address at that time. As he even
voted in the November 2020 election in his home precinct in Bay Harbor Islands,
it would be unlawful for BASABE to claim residence on Miami Beach at that time
not live.
35. The issuance of an injunction will also protect the public interest by
ensuring that only candidates that meet the requirement of residing in the City
of Miami Beach for a year prior to qualifying to run, as set forth in the City
Charter, are allowed to run for City Commission. The City Charter is the
provisions in the Charter for those seeking elected office are sacrosanct and
