"Throughout their opinion this court continually refers to 'his' constitutional right, 'his' right to privacy, violated 'his' privacy rights," Rollins wrote in his petition for a rehearing.  "This honorable court has thus stigmatized Rollins as having a need for his personal privacy, obviously due to use.  This assumption is not factual.  ...  Rollins' complaint has always dealt with the rights of Alaskan citizens." Rollins, who said he does not use marijuana, believes the court's ruling "stigmatized" him and is the perfect example of the kind of mistreatment a medical marijuana user could undergo if forced to register with the Department of Health and Social Services.  "It is just such type of human error that Rollins feels will likely occur under this law that will publicly stigmatize one or all medical marijuana users listed on the register," he wrote.  Rollins went on to point out other key mistakes he felt the judiciary made in his case.  The court can decide to readdress the case or could simply pass.  Either way, Rollins said he will push his fight to its legal conclusion.
