The trial court did not disappoint the ACLU, blocking the transfer in April 2005. The judge declared the cross to be “the primary symbol of Christianity” and held that the transfer of the spot on which the cross rests somehow violates the Establishment Clause and the court’s prior injunction. ''Buono v. Norton'', 364 F. Supp. 2d 1175, 1180 (C.D. Cal. 2005) (“Buono III”). The [[Ninth Circuit]] affirmed.

On April 28, 2010, the case was rendered moot when the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the transfer by Congress of the land around the cross to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/28/AR2010042801949.html</ref>
