A California-based medical marijuana company’s effort to file an amicus brief in a medical marijuana lawsuit in New York should be rejected, the five medical marijuana companies that were recently awarded a license by the state argued in court documents.
The intervenors in the lawsuit, New York Medical Cannabis Industry Association v. New York State Department of Health, No. 2848-17—who were granted licenses to grow and sell medical marijuana in New York in August (NYLJ, Aug. 1)—filed a memorandum of law late last week in opposition to West Sacramento Management Group LLC’s motion for leave to file an amicus curiae brief in the lawsuit against the state by the original five medical marijuana companies.
