No, the events in that article happened because Riverside decided it didn't want to pay for the courtrooms it needed for the volume of cases its court system was dealing with. However, the experiences of the defense bar during that time did inspire the subsequent events to which I was referring, which was in late 2009 or early 2010. It's hard to find articles about it online since it was an esoteric maneuver that AFAIK was only covered by local (now defunct) papers.
