SUPREME COURT DISMISSES LONG BEACH MEDICAL MARIJUANA CASE, BUT BAN REMAINS

LONG BEACH - The California Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a case that would have decided if this city can regulate medical marijuana.

Justices made their decision after Matthew Pappas, the attorney for the petitioners in the appellate court case, Pack v.  Long Beach, abandoned his original argument that Long Beach's short-lived rules to allow and regulate medical marijuana violates federal law.

Pappas didn't return a call seeking comment.  The lawsuit was filed by two disabled individuals, Ryan Pack and Anthony Gayle, in 2010.
