LOS ANGELES (AP) - Government lawyers are warning the campaign behind an upcoming Los Angeles ballot measure that would restrict large real estate projects to stop mailing a flier that looks like an official eviction notice.

In a letter Friday, the Los Angeles County Counsel’s office warned the Coalition to Preserve LA that the political group must stop using images and text that resemble a county sheriff’s department “notice to vacate.”

The coalition, which argues that Measure S will keep luxury development in check, did not return a message left after business hours.

Voters in the city of Los Angeles will decide on the measure March 7.

The counsel’s office gave the group a Monday deadline to confirm that it would pull the mailer.
