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."
