A Sonoma County marijuana farmer, facing a civil racketeering lawsuit from neighbors unhappy with the smells and sounds, says the plaintiffs haven’t suffered financially and their claims should be tossed.

Carlos Zambrano, operator of the Green Earth Coffee cultivation site near Petaluma, said in a motion to dismiss filed Monday in federal court that the nine neighbors suing him haven’t stated a valid claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO.
