Wellness and Pain Management Center v. City of Riverside
Plaintiff Wellness and Pain Management Center (Wellness) appeals from an order of the trial court granting the request of defendant City of Riverside (City) for a preliminary injunction enjoining Wellness from operating a medical marijuana collective dispensary. Wellness contends: (1) the City’s ordinance that bans medical marijuana collectives is invalid because it conflicts with or is preempted by state law, specifically the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (CUA) (Health & Saf. Code, § 11362.5) and the Medical Marijuana Program (MMP) (Health & Saf. Code, § 11362.7 et seq.); (2) the City’s ordinance is void under Government Code section 65008; and (3) the City’s ordinance violates Civil Code section 54. We conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in issuing the preliminary injunction, and we affirm.
