Vishnevsky v. Zingerman CA2/2
In April 2009, appellant and Zingerman purchased GHDF, a cannabis collective. They were GHDF’s sole shareholders, directors, and officers. In May 2009, they made GHDF a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation. Zingerman operated the business’s day-to-day affairs.
In July 2009, Zingerman was arrested at GHDF for drug possession with intent to sell; he pleaded guilty to a felony in 2010. As part of Zingerman’s plea, the court ordered the closure of GHDF. Zingerman did not call a board meeting to discuss his agreement to close GHDF in his criminal case.
In 2012, Zingerman successfully petitioned the court to dismiss his conviction but did not inform appellant about it. Appellant asked Zingerman every year about reopening the business; he told her it was impossible because GHDF was shuttered by court order. Zingerman advised appellant in 2018 that he consulted an attorney who told him “ ‘the shop is dead’ ” and its license could not be restored.
