Brea Shuts Down Dispensary


 Brea Medical Network a medical marijuana dispensary was ordered shut down by Orange County Superior Judge David Chaffey for violating a Premliminary Injunction that he had previously issued on June 27, 2011. http://www.ocregister.com/news/brea-306084-city-dispensary.html

The City of Brea has appointed a receiver to take over  a medical marijuana dispensary and effectively shutting down all but one of the medical marijuana dispensaries operating in the city.

Note Judge Chaffey is the judge who currently is presiding over Costa Mesa's battle to shut down its medical marijuana dispensaries.  Just what standards he is applying in shutting down the Brea dispensaries is something worth watching and paying attention to.  On the surface the Brea ruling seems to in violation of the Quality Patients ruling vs. the city of Anaheim in which he was overruled.  http://login.findlaw.com/scripts/callaw?dest=ca/caapp4th/187/734.html

Here is to hoping the attorneys for Brea Medical Network continue to put up the good fight and and appeal the ruling.
