COURT UPHOLDS RULING ON POT DELIVERY APP

(AP) - A state appeals court has upheld a judge's decision to block a 
smartphone app that allowed people in Los Angeles to have medical 
marijuana delivered to them.

A division of the 2nd District Court of Appeal said Monday the app by 
a company called Nestdrop violated a 2013 voter approved law that 
restricted medical marijuana facilities in the city. The three-judge 
panel said that law, Proposition D, also generally prohibits 
marijuana deliveries by vehicle. The panel upheld a lower court's 
decision to issue a preliminary injunction.

Nestdrop was sued in 2014 by Los Angeles's city attorney, who sought 
to shut it down as a violation of Proposition D.
