County of Riverside v. Freedom Won LLC CA4/2
In this appeal, defendants and appellants Freedom Won LLC, Desert Cann Wellness Center, and David Saccullo challenge the trial court’s order granting plaintiff and respondent County of Riverside’s request for a preliminary injunction prohibiting them from operating their cannabis dispensary within the county. Appellants argue it was error to issue the injunction because (1) Riverside’s ordinance banning cannabis businesses is invalid for failure to obtain voter approval and (2) Riverside could not demonstrate a likelihood of succeeding on the merits of its underlying public nuisance lawsuit against appellants because it had recently voted to repeal its countywide ban. We conclude appellants are wrong on both points and the trial court properly issued the injunction. We will therefore affirm.
