NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS:

 

HEARING ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDATE;

 

Matter is called for trial and is argued.

 

Matter is taken under submission.

 

LATER:  The Court makes the following ruling: Peti-

Tion for Writ of Mandate is denied.

 

The Court finds that the “voluntary” program under

Senate Bill 420 (Health and Safety Code Section

11362.7 et seq.) is not a prohibited amendment, etc.

to the 1996 Compassionate Use Act (CSA) (Health and

Safety Code Section 11362.5).  The “voluntary” program

Does not take away any protections of the CSA.  It

Merely eases the overseeing of the laws relating to

Marijuana use.

 

Counsel for respondent shall prepare, serve, and lodge

Proposed judgment denying the petition in Department

85 no later than September 19, 2005.  Objections, if

Any, shall be served and filed in Department 85 no

Later than September 30, 2005.
