U.S. JUDGE WON'T HALT POT RAIDS OF CLUBS
Jurist Dismisses Lawsuit But Leaves Plaintiffs A Chance To Amend And Re-File
A federal judge has dismissed an effort by the city and county of Santa
Cruz and a medical marijuana cooperative to get a court order halting
federal raids against California's pot clubs.
U.S. Judge Jeremy Fogel of San Jose wrote he's "acutely mindful of the
suffering" patients have demonstrated, "and of the evidence that medicinal
marijuana has helped to alleviate that suffering. As it commented at oral
argument, the Court finds the declarations of the Patient-Plaintiffs deeply
moving."
