CalPERS has again agreed to push back its appeal of San Bernardino (Calif.)’s bankruptcy eligibility and cancel an August hearing in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, saying in a joint filing with the city that the delay is “critical to the success of the ongoing mediation,” the San Bernardino County Sun reported yesterday. The motion, which has been accepted by the court, changes the deadline for the pension giant — and largest creditor in San Bernardino’s bankruptcy case — to file an opening brief from today to July 21, arguing the city doesn’t qualify for chapter 9 protection, with the city’s response due by Aug. 20.
