Mike and Valerie Corral filed a motion on Tuesday that seeks the return of the plants grown by the 238-member Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana, an area cooperative that provides marijuana to people with medical conditions. Attorneys Ben Rice and Gerald Uelmen filed the motion Tuesday morning in U.S. District Court in San Jose. The motion seeks the return of pot plants taken during a Sept. 5 raid, as well as alliance records, a computer and firearms that the motion says are family heirlooms. No criminal charges have been filed in connection with the raid. The raid by federal agents shook the medical-marijuana community and was criticized by local and state officials. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
