NEWS: Judges put city's bid to close medical marijuana clinic on hold

A blind San Clemente woman who depends on medical marijuana to help her cope with cerebral palsy and other illnesses won a reprieve Monday when an appeals court panel delayed the city's bid to close a Dana Point dispensary.

Attorneys for Dana Point had bee scheduled today to ask an Orange County judge for an injunction that would shut down Beach Cities Collective, where Malinda Traudt get her medical marijuana.

But a three-judge panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal issued a stay on the hearing pending a review of Traudt's request to intervene in the case.

The appellate court's temporary stay on the injunction hearing gives Dana Point's attorneys time to explain to the appellate court justices by July 13 why they think the temporary stay of the injunction should be lifted.

City attorneys could not be reached for immediate comment.
