The Merced Superior Court ruled late last week that the California
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) must pay $69,400 in attorneys fees to
Americans for Safe Access (ASA), the nation's largest medical marijuana
advocacy organization. The fees award stems from a lawsuit brought by ASA
in November 2008 against the DMV for its policy of unjustly revoking
drivers' licenses of qualified medical marijuana patients. The suit was
filed on behalf of Rose Johnson, a 53-year-old medical marijuana patient
from Atwater, whose license was revoked by the DMV because of her status
as a patient.
