SUPREME COURT REJECTS POT APPEAL The state Supreme Court this week summarily denied an appeal filed by Yuba Patients Coalition and six individuals challenging the urgency designation attached to Yuba County's new marijuana cultivation ordinance. The state's highest court Wednesday posted the notice a petition for review and an application for a stay in enforcement of the ordinance was denied. The ruling was the latest in a series of appeals filed by ordinance opponents challenging a Yuba County Superior Court ruling that left the urgency designation intact. That designation effectively removed opponents' ability to circulate petitions for a voter referendum. Opponents twice filed appeals to the state Supreme Court following 3rd District Court of Appeal rulings that upheld Yuba County. Still pending in Yuba County Superior Court is the initial suit seeking a ruling that the new ordinance is unconstitutional, along with a permanent injunction. Yuba County has filed a response to that suit and a 2:30 p.m. June 1 court date has been scheduled. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
