"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.
