RIVERSIDE ?? A federal judge refused Monday to issue a preliminary injunction against a Cathedral City medical marijuana dispensary, saying that while he understood the city's ??frustration,? he did not have authority to order the business to cease operations.
??This is complicated by a number of factors,? said Riverside-based U.S. District Judge Stephen G. Larson, before issuing a decision regarding Cathedral City-based Essential Herbs and Oils.
??It's complicated by the will of the people of California and the will of the people of Cathedral City. The question is whether the city has a right to bring this action to this court at this time.?
Larson said he could find no Congressional or U.S. Supreme Court precedent to validate a ??private right of action? by Cathedral City, emphasizing that a federal preliminary injunction for alleged violations of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act should have been sought by the U.S. Justice Department.
