Attorneys for the Wo/Man’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana are filing
court briefs in January. They will lay out a 10th amendment argument
which could be very strong since the city of Santa Cruz has passed that
ordinance for the Office of Compassionate Use, according to Mike
Corral. The other will be for substantive due process. These will be
heard in San Jose District Court with Judge Fogel presiding.
Also, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals set a March
27 hearing date in the Angel Raich case, at the Court of Appeals in
Pasadena, Hearing Room 3. “We still have the same panel as before with
one judge from the Eighth Circuit,” said Raich. “The judges have been
pulling this case through the Ninth Circuit really fast, which is a
good sign.”
