United States of America versus

MR. PARHAM:

Greg Parham, Assistant United States Attorney,

Good morning, Your Honor.

for the government.

THE COURT:

The motion to dismiss is scheduled for 10:00;

10

All right.

right?

11

MR. PARHAM:

12

THE COURT:

13

MR. PARHAM:

Right.
Do you think maybe they got confused?
You know, there were dual times that

we've got.

15

We've got a scheduling conference obviously set for

16

9:00, motion at 10:00, maybe he got confused but he hasn't

17

told me one way or the other.

19

THE COURT:

MR. PARHAM:

21

THE COURT:

22

MR. PARHAM:

THE COURT:

Well, I'm going to assume he's

confused.

18

09:11

Okay.

SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx):

14
09:11

THE COURT:

Okay.
So I commend you for being here early.
Thank you.
I could have -- well, the motion to

dismiss is set for 10:00, so I can't have you argue that.


Let's just put everything over to 10:00.

That's what we'll do.

Thank you, Your Honor.

MR. PAPPAS:

Good morning, Judge.

Matthew Pappas for the claimants.

THE COURT:

Welcome, Mr. Pappas.

MR. DURST:

Good morning, Your Honor.

13

Lee Durst, also for the claimants.

14

THE COURT:

Let me catch up here.

Folks, why doesn't everyone have a seat.

We've got some work to do here.

10:01

THE COURT:

It's another case involving Mr. Durst.

Were you originally scheduled on a case where you

No, no.

were the plaintiff today, Durst versus -MR. DURST:

First Southern?

THE COURT:

Yes.

10

MR. DURST:

Well, I don't think it's today.

11

My understanding is it was later in the month.

12

THE COURT:

What's the status of that case?

13

MR. DURST:

They have been served and -- but we've

had no responses or anything else.

15

We had to do the amended complaint you -- per your


instructions, we did the amended complaint.

17

We then served them.

18

They have not previously answered the first

Is it on James, the --

16

10:02

maybe now is not the right time to bring it up.

First, on an unrelated note -- well,

complaint.
So that's where we're at now, we're just waiting
for them to answer.

22

THE COURT:

23

We will pick up the scheduling conference at the

24

end of our discussions that we're about to have right now.

25

Okay.

Then let's move to this case.

We did not issue a tentative in this case.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:02

10:02

I have -- frankly, I have so many questions to ask.

I think it best that I let the defense start with

the presentation of their 12(b)(6) motion and I'll ask

questions as we go along.

You know --

MR. PAPPAS:

THE COURT:

MR. PAPPAS:

THE COURT:

10
11
12
13

10:02

10:03

10:03

Thank you, Judge.


-- I love reading your papers.
Thank you.
You had me on the plains of Runnymede.

I was wondering how that was going to help me with


this case.
I was wondering if King John was going to come out
and light one up.

14

(Laughter.)

15

THE COURT:

16

I like all of that, but this is a district court

I'm being a little facetious.

17

and this is a 12(b)(6) motion and at times I thought in your

18

papers you were kind of rearguing James I and James II and,

19

you know, that's -- that's done.

20

I think each of the three cases -- the three major

21

cases have all presented, you know, very interesting

22

and unique theories.

23

I mean, I'm summing up, maybe too broadly or too

24

simply, but, you know, ADA, what goes on in DC stays in DC

25

and not in California and now this.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:03

And, again, I had at times trouble parsing out from

your papers from Magna Carta today to, you know, arguments

that weren't raised previously that have direct relation to

this very interesting action taken by the government which

seems to be, you know, a huge step forward or step backward

in this whole situation.

10:04

So let me ask, for this situation, not revisiting

James I, James II or whatever, what do you think your

strongest argument is?

10

Because you and I may disagree about what your

11

strongest argument is, and I think you've got some strong

12

arguments.

13
14
10:04

What do you think your strongest argument is right


now?

15
16

MR. PAPPAS:

I think that's probably the strongest argument in


terms of the 12(b)(6), just looking at it technically.

19
10:04

10:04

20

That the complaint is based on a $37

marijuana transaction.

17
18

THE COURT:

Where is that argument made in your

papers?

21

MR. PAPPAS:

22

There is --

23

THE COURT:

24

The opening paragraph (reading) the plaintiffs --

25

It's in the reply, more than anything.

See, it's good to give me that.

opening paragraph (reading):

Your clients might be losing

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:04

real property based on a $37 marijuana transaction that they

didn't participate in; is that correct?

MR. PAPPAS:

THE COURT:

10:05

I think.

MR. PAPPAS:

I chose, of course, as I have previously,

10

12

papers, so -THE COURT:

Okay.

So if that's your No. 1

argument, what do you think your No. 2 argument is?


MR. PAPPAS:

I think the No. 2 argument is that the

14

Jalalis have a right -- the claimants have a right to rely on

15

state law in this area and a fundamental right to do so

16

because --

17
18
19

10:05

I think that is a strong argument.

Your Honor, to argue the more esoteric arguments in the

13

10:05

That's a pretty strong opening argument

instead of Runnymede.

11

10:05

That's correct.

20

THE COURT:

You know, but, see, right there, that

was taken care of in Raich.


If I was on the Supreme Court in Raich, we might
have had a different result, but I'm not.

21

I mean, that was taken care of in Raich, isn't it?

22

MR. PAPPAS:

23

Because I think after Raich comes Oregon and I

I don't think it is.

24

think in Oregon the Supreme Court makes clear that the CSA is

25

a law that targets recreational drug activities and not

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

medical drug activities.

10:06

The two dissents there, especially, from Justice

Thomas and Justice Scalia make clear that the court's

decision that day, in 2006, I think it was, limits the scope

of the CSA.

And so you've got that combined with a series of

actions by the article two branch, including the David Ogden

memorandum in 2009.

9
10:06

THE COURT:

10

court, but that is -- I tie that argument to the federal lift

12

argument.

15

THE COURT:

Let me dramatically state your

argument.
The Department of Justice tells the world that they

16

aren't going to be prosecuting medical marijuana

17

dispensaries.

18

They didn't say "exactly."

19

They said not economically efficient.

20

They tell the world that.

21

Your clients, modest property owners -- and what

22

10:06

Which is -- I would agree with the

11

14

10:06

I think that is your best argument.

MR. PAPPAS:

13

10:06

were their professions?

Pretty appealing.

23

MR. PAPPAS:

24

THE COURT:

25

What did they do?

A computer engineer and a dentist.


A computer engineer and a dentist.

president in 2008 and trusted the Department of Justice when

they issued that letter, which they didn't have to issue

and now the government says someone acting in reliance on

thing by the United States government, which, if perpetrated

by an individual would probably be actionable fraud.

10
11

10:07

10:08

MR. PAPPAS:
THE COURT:

I would -Can you bring a class action against

the United States of America?

12

I mean it -- that strikes me as a strong argument.

13

So you're getting a little chance here to get ready

14
10:07

It sounds to me like maybe a revenue generating

9
10:07

They trusted the president when he ran for

15

to respond, Counsel.
And, yet, you know, the Ogden letter, if I look at

16

your table of contents, you say it's presented on Page 17,

17

it's presented pretty briefly on Page 17, actually, it's

18

presented on Page 11 and 17, although your table of contents

19

only says Page 17.

20

And by the way, it's Ogden with an "S."

21

I think I misspoke.

22

And so that's a pretty good argument.

23

What about that argument?

24

MR. PAPPAS:

25

Well, I think that's the argument that

I'm making.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:08

10:08

at a legal that that ties to the government not being able to

do this, and -- and so the way that I'm referencing it here

in the paper -- and I apologize, I probably didn't update the

table of contents before I printed this -- was to say that

the Jalalis have this substantive due process right to rely

on that statement, as well as the decision in Oregon saying

that this law targets recreational drug abuse, not medical

use of drugs -- and a slew of other things -- the state's

10

laws to -- to show that they have a right to look at the

11

state's sovereign's laws, in this area traditionally

12

belonging to the states, rather than to the remote central

13

power.
What -- it seems to me, as I went

through the rather voluminous papers, the government was

16

saying they gave notice, and you seem to be contesting that.


MR. PAPPAS:

Well, they gave -- they allege that

18

they gave notice through a letter sent by the city of Anaheim

19

to the Jalalis.

20
21

10:09

THE COURT:

15

17

10:09

I think the Ogden memorandum -- I'm trying to look

14
10:08

Not from direct notice by the government to the


claimants, but from a letter by the city of Anaheim.

22

And I take issue --

23

THE COURT:

24

So you're saying, one, that wasn't from the Feds?

25

MR. PAPPAS:

Hold on.

There's no allegation in the complaint

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

that the federal government ever notified the Jalalis

directly.

10:09

THE COURT:

not from the feds, and I have a letter from Mr. Ogden from

the feds.

MR. PAPPAS:

10:09

THE COURT:

So what else were you going to say on

notice?
MR. PAPPAS:

13

THE COURT:

14

You also in your papers ask that I set forth

Well, I've forgotten now, but -Let me ask you this.

15

pleading rules or that I expand the pleading rules or that I

16

create the law that in pleading an action such as this the

17

government has -- has to say what that they haven't said?

19

10:10

law.

12

18

10:10

His belief was that he's in compliance with the

10
11

Indeed, when I met with Mr. Jalali, he

said, I didn't do anything wrong.

10:09

So the Jalalis might say, well, that's

10

MR. PAPPAS:

That there is -- No. 1, that they

notified the claimants in this type of case.

20

THE COURT:

21

MR. PAPPAS:

22

I'm saying that --

23

THE COURT:

So that should be -A requirement of the pleading.

But you just said there is a notice

24

allegation, but not from the plaintiff, from the local

25

authorities?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

MR. PAPPAS:

And that letter that was sent by Anaheim, Judge,

10:10

10:10

10:10

THE COURT:

MR. PAPPAS:

10:11

So what do you mean "somebody else"?


The claimants received, apparently, a

courtesy copy, according to the government, who -- it was

allegedly sent to them as a courtesy copy.

So --

THE COURT:

Because it was also sent to the owners

of the shop?

11

MR. PAPPAS:

12

That's the allegation in the complaint.

13

THE COURT:

Apparently, yes.

Okay.

So the complaint says it's sent

14

to the owners of the shop, and included as a courtesy are the

15

owners of the property?

16

MR. PAPPAS:

17

THE COURT:

18

element of a claim for relief?

19
10:11

From a third-party.

was sent to somebody else, and then a --

10

11

20

MR. PAPPAS:

Okay.

And you think that should be an

In this type of case, I believe it

should be.

21

THE COURT:

22

MR. PAPPAS:

23

I'm --

24

THE COURT:

25

Yes.

And what's your authority for that?


I don't have any authority.

You know, I -- that's a fair statement

that -- that this is a fairly new situation, and under these

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:11

10:11

circumstances maybe we need to create additional elements of

that claim for relief.

But what if they say, we allege notice?

You just don't think it's sufficient notice?

MR. PAPPAS:

10:12

have a verification by a DEA officer, there's no verification

that notice went out other than to say the city of Anaheim

sent this notice to somebody and then they were sent a

courtesy copy.

10

And I think, in terms of Rule G(5) there is a

11

specific factual pleading requirement, and part of that

12

should be, in this type of case, that the government give

13

notice to the claimants.


THE COURT:

Okay.

On the issue of what pleading

15

requirements we have is the related issue about whether this

16

should be resolved at a 12(b)(6) hearing or at a summary

17

judgment hearing, and it seems to me there are layers of

18

facts that you would best present at a summary judgment

19

rather than a 12(b)(6) hearing.

20

MR. PAPPAS:

21

THE COURT:

22

Let me phrase it more directly.

23

Can you name for me cases where Constitutional

24
10:12

I mean, they allege the notice, they

14
10:11

12

25

Right.
What about that?

issues are resolved at 12(b)(6) rather than summary judgment?


MR. PAPPAS:

No, not off the top of my head.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

1
2
3
4
10:12

And -- and I think that this is purely

law and I think -THE COURT:

Well, but I'm not -- I'm going to push

know these facts, the notice, what was the nature of the

notice, who did it come from?

10

Did your client know that it really was coming from


the government?
Of course your papers say this was all a ruse

12

and it was coming -- the locals were using the Feds to do

13

their dirty work.


Doesn't that all create factual issues that you

15

would like best to create a record on appeal through a

16

summary judgment process rather than a 12(b)(6) process?

17

MR. PAPPAS:

The pleading itself has to be

18

sufficiently factually pled in detail to show that the

19

government will meet its burden at the time of trial.

20

And it has included in the complaint these

21

allegations that are essentially a -- a printout of an

22

Internet Website, weedmaps.com.

23

10:13

MR. PAPPAS:

14

10:13

if it's just purely law you can resolve it at a 12(b)(6).

back there -- I'm sorry to keep interrupting you -- but you

11

10:13

But your response would be, but, Judge

9
10:12

THE COURT:

13

If we're looking at the admissibility of that, the

24

substantive value that has in terms of meeting their burden

25

at trial, I think there's a problem there.

transaction and then the fact that the -- an Anaheim officer

went to the facility, saw that it was a closed marijuana

collective at one point, and then somebody else from Anaheim

went there and apparently smelled marijuana.


Those are the -- that's the substance of the

10

substantial detailed facts that are supposed to be pled in

11

the complaint.

14
15

And -- and so I -- I -- I don't think those are


substantially substantial enough.
THE COURT:

What do you think the purpose of the

Webpage printout was in the complaint?

16

What did that establish?

17

MR. PAPPAS:

18

10:15

The only other facts in the complaint that would

be -- that have to be detailed are the $37 marijuana

12

10:14

The -- the -- the statements they include are

9
10:14

14

I think it created ire with the court

to show that, perhaps, patience --

19

THE COURT:

20

MR. PAPPAS:

Have I been ired?


I don't -- but I think the purpose was

21

that, that's my opinion, because I don't think those are

22

admissible statements and I think the -- the statement by

23

these anonymous individuals doesn't go to anything that is

24

directly tie-able, at least legally, to this facility.

25

Anyone could go on the Internet and put these

things out there.

10:15

THE COURT:

about whether the government is claiming this is

nonmedicinal.
Would that printout if it were authentic, suggest
that it was nonmedicinal?

MR. PAPPAS:

THE COURT:

And so I'm just wondering if the

I must say, when I look at the last five pages of

13

the Orange County Weekly, it kind of jumps out to me that

14

some of this is nonmedicinal.

15
16

You can't put a stethoscope on a sexy nurse and all


of a sudden claim it's "medicinal."

If you read the statements it -- it

I'm still wondering why that

have been before this court and others throughout southern

18

California in respect to these issues and I think the

19

government has more of a responsibility to be involved

20

directly in what it's alleging than to take evidence provided

21

by Anaheim, have a DEA agent verify that, who probably

22

doesn't have personal information or knowledge of the

23

statements that are alleged in the complaint and patch in a

24

number of relatively prejudicial, highly prejudicial -- the

25

court just read them -- statements from an anonymous source

nonmedicinal.

I'm curious about that.

MR. PAPPAS:

regard to whether or not the collectives are operating

pursuant to California law.

10

That allegation in the complaint, I don't know the


exact paragraph, is made on information and belief.
So if, in fact, those are included for that reason,

12

perhaps they're saying on information or belief because

13

that's anonymous.

THE COURT:

So you really have your

happening?

MR. PAPPAS:

That -- that would be a problem,

23

and it could, given the probable trial schedule in next year

24

that we've talked about.

25

THE COURT:

Okay.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:19

10:20

10:20

10:20

Continue with your argument.

MR. PAPPAS:

And then we have, of course, the last

argument -- which is the most probably esoteric or the more

unique, which is the Raich II argument on fundamental rights.

And we've seen market changes since Raich II.

The government cites Raich II, but back to the

date, and then it cites some district court case decisions

that other people have brought, in terms of emerging

awareness and substantive due process.

10

But as Your Honor mentioned, Marla James has been

11

in here.

12

medication works for her.

She suffers from excruciating pain, and -- and this

13

It's effective for her.

14

The state has provided for it.

15

As Justice Thomas said in the Raich I dissent, his

16

dissent there, the argument by the government that there

17

aren't controls and systems in place is -- is simply without

18

basis.

19

And the -- the law's developed.

20

We had another state pass medical marijuana, to --

to bring it to --

MR. PAPPAS:

Wait.

But we had Massachusetts pass it.


Well, Colorado's recreational,

10:21

MR. PAPPAS:

I agree.

Just like recreational use of

amphetamines would violate it.


And so it -- it comes to the idea that you have
millions of patients -THE COURT:

I'm just saying a fortiori.

The people of the state of Colorado are approving

11

it for recreational, then perhaps those conservative states

12

that approve it only for medicinal should be more respected

13

by the feds.
MR. PAPPAS:

I think that holds true, and I think

15

the number of states that have approved it -- this isn't --

16

this isn't the same as the sodomy cases.

17

These are people who are suffering from --

18

THE COURT:

19

I mean, when you're throwing Bowers and Lawrence at

Well, you see, that confused me too.

20

me, I'm going from Runnymede to Texas sodomy and trying to

21

apply it to here.

22

What -- why did you cite Lawrence?

23

MR. PAPPAS:

24
10:22

Right.

10

14

10:21

But I'm not arguing recreational use

here, because I feel that -- that violates the CSA.

10:21

MR. PAPPAS:

THE COURT:

10:21

for heaven's sakes, and -- and --

20

25

Well, Lawrence is cited by the

Ninth Circuit in Raich II.


That is the case that Justice Pregerson goes

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:22

10:22

through in Raich II, the 2007 opinion, when it came back from

the Supreme Court, after he determined that we hadn't reached

the day yet where there had been enough traction in the law.

And so his -- his -- his opinion there was that we

hadn't reached that point, but the day would soon dawn where

we would.

And -- and since that case came down, we have a

number of additional states that have been added into the

medical marijuana fold.

10

We have the National Cancer Institute, part of the

11

federal government, putting on its Website the benefits of

12

Cannibis for doctors.

13

10:22

We have the Veterans Administration, and we have,

14

which I think gives it more traction in the law -- I'm not

15

citing Washington D.C. for equal protection the same way that

16

I did in James I and II.

17

10:23

I'm citing it to support the idea that Congress

18

itself has said, let's let DC be more like the states

19

and take out this block, and that's legal traction to show

20

that perhaps we've reached that day.

21

10:23

21

THE COURT:

Well, then you know what a district

22

judge in Santa Ana is maybe thinking, boy, get your traction

23

and get legislative relief which -- which maybe you're

24

getting.

25

If it's happening in Colorado and happening in

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

Massachusetts and happening elsewhere, it might just happen

in the United States Congress.

10:23

10:24

talking, my position would be that the Congress is unable to

do virtually anything.

10:24

Its approval rating is very low and I think it is

a -- a day long in the future that we'll get back to

Tip O'Neill and Howard Baker being able to have a beer

outside in a bar by themselves and get along.

10

These politicians at Congress, the remote central

11

power that Justice Kennedy refers to in Bond, are in a state

12

that is not going to be concerned about, I think the

13

well-being, the fundamental right I think that these patients

have to be free from excruciating pain because of a plant, a

15

natural plant that works effectively for them.

16

With not one Republican vote.


Don't give up hope.

Touch, though.

You have the House of Representatives controlled by

10:24

You have more conflagration than I've seen


previously in my life in terms of those institutions.

6
7

10:25

10:25

10:25

this area is minimal.


They should, but I doubt they'll do it.

THE COURT:

And the presidential candidates

10

espousing the legalization of marijuana got less than

11

2 percent.

12

MR. PAPPAS:

13

THE COURT:

14

What do you think the prospects are that the

(Nodded head.)
All right.

15

government will ultimately pursue this case and seize your

16

client's property if the court doesn't intervene?


MR. PAPPAS:

It is my understanding --

18

and Mr. Parham would have to address it on behalf of

19

Mr. Birotte -- that the US Attorney's Office or the Central

20

District's focus here is when a -- and I sent to the court a

21

request for judicial notice.

22

10:25

And I think their ability to pass legislation in

17

23

It includes a letter from my -- the counsel that

23

opposes me in the James cases, to the US attorney asking for

24

help because they want to completely ban collectives in

25

their -- in their cities.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:26

12(b)(6) motions.

I think that becomes a summary judgment.

MR. PAPPAS:

10:27

Well, it's presented more from a legal

perspective, and that particular letter is not, so I would

agree with the court that that is more evidentiary in nature.


But my understanding is -- and it's even on the US

Attorney's Website -- that their purpose here is to help

10

cities that ask for help, or that's the priority they're

11

giving it, I believe, is what the Website says, that they're

12

helping the California cities that are asking for help in

13

getting rid of collectives.

15
16

10:26

And then doesn't -- you

know, I'm not a big fan for requests for judicial notice in

14
10:26

All right.

10:26

THE COURT:

24

I don't know if I'm addressing -- the ultimate


purpose is -- is to do that, to help those cities.
That is where the cities -- that is where the

17

federal government has come in, sent letters -- for instance,

18

it did it in Costa Mesa -- and it enters into these

19

settlement agreements that are -- require a substantial

20

amount of payment back to the federal government, as well, by

21

these land owners, who, I believe, are relying on the

22

statement by Mr. Ogden, as well as the state law, in leasing

23

to collectives they believe are in compliance with the law;

24

and -- and I think the -- the substantial amounts that are

25

being paid -- for instance, all the rent that's been paid by

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

collectives ever and the government's cost of suit, that --

that that is something that is being used to bully these

people into closing them down and then to pay those monies.

4
10:27

That -- that -- that's what I think's happening


here.

6
7

I don't think the government intends to go to


trial, but I can't speak for it.

8
9
10:27

10:27

10:28

You know, I don't get many of these

forfeiture cases.
What is the nature of the trial?

11

Is the -- is the order of sale something to be


determined by the jury or the court?

13

MR. PAPPAS:

14

THE COURT:

15

I -- not "order of sale," but is the ultimate order

The order of -- of sale?


Of forfeiture.

16

of forfeiture something to be determined by the jury or the

17

court?

18

MR. PAPPAS:

19

I think it's determined by the jury, because we can

I don't know.

20

make a jury demand; and so I believe we can demand a jury

21

trial, and then go through the process with a jury, if we

22

make that demand and Mr. Parham put that into the Rule 26

23

statement and --

24
10:28

THE COURT:

10

12

25

25

THE COURT:

Do you think the plaintiff intends to

go all the way to a jury verdict of forfeiture if you do not

THE COURT:

case for you at the Ninth Circuit and Supreme Court?


MR. PAPPAS:

I don't know if I'd make it there,

that would be just my take on it.

I -- I think it's a good issue.

I think there's a lot at risk for the claimants.

10

13

And so for the first time I recommended to the


claimants not to fight the government.
THE COURT:

You mean for the

United States of America, when you say "claimants"?

14

MR. PAPPAS:

15

They're the -- they're not the defendants.

16

It's an in rem action.

17

So the Jalalis would kill me.

18

THE COURT:

19

I missed it and my transcript went out.

20

I'm sorry.

21

MR. PAPPAS:

22
23

10:29

Do you think that would be a wonderful

because the land owners would probably kill me, but -- but

12

10:29

I think it will.

11

10:29

do what others have done and, that is, settle out?

26

No.

The "claimants" being my clients.

What was your last sentence, though?

I missed something you said in there.


I think that, ultimately, it would --

there would be a determination made.


You had said something, Judge, at the first hearing

24

we had on James back two years ago, what do you think the

25

city's law would be in five years?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

You said something to that effect.

And I agree with the court that this is something

3
4
10:29

10:30

adversity, because I think the framers meant for that.

They didn't want for things to happen quickly.

Bad cases make bad law.

And so I think there is necessary adversity, but

10

there has been about 16 or 17 years of that now in

11

California.

14

marijuana should be something that we allow for.


I think the polls on that -- and I'm speaking from
my recollection -- are 70 or 80 percent of the public

16

believes that, and --

18

THE COURT:

MR. PAPPAS:

20

THE COURT:

21

MR. PAPPAS:

23

Well, then, put Congressmen's

reelection at risk.

19

22

10:30

And the tendency is in this country to say, medical

15

17

10:30

I think for purposes of substantive due process or


any of these civil rights issues, there's necessarily

13

10:30

that takes time.

12

27

I -- I agree.
It's the democratic process.
There's other issues that are

probably -THE COURT:

Other than the ham handedness of a

24

district judge in Santa Ana, telling the Congress it cannot

25

respond to the will of the people.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

10:30

MR. PAPPAS:

10:31

framers also meant that the judicial branch and that the

Article II branch were meant to restrain Congress as part of

coequal branches of government.

And here Congress is showing that it can't respond

properly, that it hasn't responded properly, that its hands

are tied by conflagration and difficulty within it that make

it impossible for it to do its job.


And -- and so, at that stage, I believe that the

10

coequal branches of government, even this district court,

11

which is established pursuant to Article III, has an

12

obligation to step in and say, hey, you know, this is

13

something that needs to happen because you're unable to get

14

it done.

15

Oh, no, no, no, it's not this has to

THE COURT:

So let's see, it's en banc?

10

13

It was and it remains that.


And where are we on that, by the way?

MR. PAPPAS:

The en banc is denied because the

panel issued an amended opinion on November 1st.


So the city sent me a stay request on that because
I notified the court.

14

THE COURT:

MR. PAPPAS:

MR. PARHAM:

THE COURT:

Isn't -- aren't the appealing facts of the land

I mean, aren't you upping the ante?

owner in this case the type of bad facts which might be the

perfect vehicle for Mr. Pappas to call into question the drug

law and our president's previous comments and Mr. Ogden's

letter and now you're going to grab the property?

MR. PARHAM:

That's the simple answer to your question:

10

Yes, Your Honor.


Yes.

And the reason why we are saying "yes" is because

11

back in September of last year, the four US attorneys in the

12

State of California determined that there was far too many --

13

we can call them dispensaries, collectives, cooperatives, we

14

call them pot stores.

15

There was far too many pot stores.

16

THE COURT:

Are you saying that determination was

17

made by four US attorneys in California in contradiction to

18

what Mr. Ogden wrote in his letter or didn't the decision go

all the way back to DC?

Right.

but now looking at the letter there is no "S."

16

So sorry, Mr. Ogden.

17

MR. PARHAM:

But that was the impetus for the four

18

US attorneys to use their own discretion within the state to

19

determine that the problem of medical marijuana stores had

20

become so bad that this state's US attorneys determined that

21

they were going to allocate resources and start attempting to

22

close the -- in this district alone, I believe we had

23

somewhere in the area of 1,300/1,400 marijuana stores.

24

It was extraordinary.

25

THE COURT:

Okay.

What about the core principle

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

though, look, I own a piece of property, a mall, a mini mall,

or whatever, and I heard the president campaigning in 2008

and it's -- he should honor his campaign promises.

4
10:35

10:35

And then I phoned up Mr. Pappas and he said, well,

we've got this wonderful letter from Mr. Ogden that says that

they don't think it's inefficient use, so go ahead and rent

it out.

So they go ahead and rent it out.

They're not the people selling it; they're just

10

renting their property.

11

10:35

10:35

Oh, and by the way, they look at the law passed by

12

the People of the State of California, and then the

13

government comes in later and says, never mind what the

14

president may have said in his campaign, never mind what

15

Mr. Ogden said in his letter, never mind when the State of

16

California expressed through the proposition process, we're

17

going to grab your property.

18

Does that sound fair?

19

MR. PARHAM:

20

Well, it does, because what they're

doing is they're looking at the federal law with blinders on.

21

10:36

32

They're not looking at Title 21, 856, indicating

22

it's a separate violation of the law to knowingly allow your

23

property, as a property owner, as a landlord, to be used in

24

this fashion, and that law has been on the books for 20 or

So we see a certain degree of myopia on the part of

the marijuana industry -- and it is an industry -- that

continues to tout the vagaries of state law and they

disregard -- they put their blinders on and they do not

discuss federal law.

THE COURT:

attorney general that says (reading) it is unlikely to be an

efficient use of limited federal resources to go after

medical marijuana dispensaries.

That's not myopia; that's kind of black and white.

THE COURT:

You know, and that's true, that's fine;

19

but then when the government who was the source of these

20

statements is going to grab the property of citizens who are

21

merely renting the building out, again, it sounds like a --

22

you know, maybe that's a solution to the fiscal cliff.

23

This sounds like a revenue-generating issue.

Tell

24

them one thing and grab their property when they believe what

25

you said.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

MR. PARHAM:

The landlords are receiving money, rental proceeds

Guess what? the federal government could be even


more heavy-handed, if you will.

10:37

10:38

that take monies out of the bank accounts of these landlords

who were knowingly laundering drug procedures being paid as

"rentals."

10

Now, as far as the heavy handedness issue is

11

concerned, Congress has allowed somebody in the landlord

12

situation some re-dress, and, that is, in the innocent

13

ownership statute and also in 18 USC 983(g) which is the

14

proportionality portion of the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform

15

Act, that allows post-judgment a landlord or a property owner

16

to seek a reduction in the forfeiture based on an argument of

17

the Eighth Amendment, which is, I believe one of the concerns

18

the court was discussing earlier.


If this is heavy handed, the court, post-judgment,

20

has the ability to reduce the forfeiture to a level that does

21

not violate the Constitution.

22

10:38

We could have very well gotten seizure warrants

Well, let's think this through.

THE COURT:

Do you intend to carry this all the way

through forfeiture?

24

MR. PARHAM:

25

We have not been -- we're not playing poker,

Yes, absolutely, Your Honor.

10:39

We intend to follow through with the litigation


tactics that we've started a year ago.
I have been involved -- I've been involved in
marijuana issues since, roughly, 2008 when the DEA first

started this campaign.

The government wants to enforce Title 21.

The court said it very well.

Claimants want the law to be something else.

10

They want this court to change the law.

11

The court wisely indicated that their -- their

12

opportunity to change the law is with the legislature and if

13

they want to change the law they should do this on a

14

congressional level, not on an add ad hoc basis

15

through defending these various forfeiture actions.


THE COURT:

Don't you think in this world of change

17

and whatever, progress or regress, depending on your point of

18

view, this is the exact case that you don't want presented as

19

a test case on the interaction of federal and state

20

and medical and dispensaries and forfeiture -- you know, a

21

poor dentist has to turn over a whole bunch of money just

22

because they maybe were relying on what they had heard

23

federal agents say?

24
10:40

Your Honor.

16

10:39

35

25

MR. PARHAM:

Well, the -- the estoppel argument

the -- the court is suggesting, has been litigated in the

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

criminal context, I know.

10:40

My colleagues in the criminal division have had the

estoppel argument raised by Defendants who are being

prosecuted for relying upon the government's statements in

that --

10:40

10:40

10:41

Defendants don't have that level of

innocence that this poor dentist has, criminal Defendants

don't.
MR. PARHAM:

Well, they may -- they may have a

10

similar argument, though, Your Honor, that they relied upon

11

statements made by government officials.

12

And I don't know that it's that much different.

13

Besides that, it's -- it's my understanding that

14

Ms. -- Dr. Jalali, the claimant -- one of the claimants, her

15

medical practice is in this very building, so it's not as if

16

she was removed from the location and had no idea what was

17

going on there.

18

MR. PAPPAS:

19

Her medical practice is in Lake Forrest.

20

It's nowhere near the building.

21

MR. PARHAM:

22

THE COURT:

23
24
10:41

THE COURT:

36

25

Your Honor, it is not.

Sorry about that.


It sounds to me like a summary judgment

issue, but what about that?


Can -- are Constitutional arguments like this best
presented on a motion to dismiss?

THE COURT:

Okay.

What about the pleading

requirements going to things like "notice"?


Do you think you have to plead notice?

And have you pled notice?

MR. PARHAM:

No, we don't, Your Honor, and, again,

the government explained that in its opposition where we

said, if there was an argument to be made by the claimants

10

that they did not receive notice, i.e., they did not know

11

that this property was being used illegally, that's part of

12

their affirmative defense that they could raise and --

13

and prevail at trial if that were proven up.

affirmative defense?

THE COURT:

it's an affirmative defense?

20

I don't have it in front of me.

21

MR. PARHAM:

22

After a finding of forfeiture the claimant has the

23

burden of proving that they were the innocent owners of the

24

property, i.e., that they did not --

25

THE COURT:

Does the notice have to come from the

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

feds or the local authority?

10:42

MR. PARHAM:

either, Your Honor, for the government to initiate the

action.

In this case, Your Honor, I know the court asked

Claimants' counsel about the letter that was directed to the

Jalalis by the city, it's no secret that cities have been

coming to the US attorney and saying we would like your help.

10

Our cities are being overrun with these marijuana


stores.

11

10:43

They

can't really decide what the state law is and how it's going

13

to apply.

14

So US government, can you step in and help us out?

15

THE COURT:

Should a city -- should a

16

representative of the State of California take action so

17

inconsistent with a proposition passed by People the State of

18

California?
Should a state law enforcement officer become an

20

arm of the federal law enforcement regime when it's directly

21

contrary to what the People of the State of California said

22

in their proposition process?

23

10:43

State courts are grappling with this issue.

12

19
10:43

I don't believe it has to come from

9
10:42

38

MR. PARHAM:

Well, is it contrary, Your Honor,

24

and that's an issue that I think is being decided -- and I'm

25

sure Mr. Pappas will correct me if I'm wrong -- he is

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

probably far more familiar with the state litigation that's

pending -- but I believe there are two cases before the

California Supreme Court discussing those types of issues.

4
10:43

MR. PAPPAS:

the cases before the California Supreme Court are based upon

whether or not that cities, as creatures of state government,

have the ability to ban all collectives within their borders.

9
10

That question, essentially, centers -- I was the


lead case up there, and my case has been dismissed from the
California Supreme Court.

11
12

10:44

Is that the one that went through the

fourth district there?


MR. PAPPAS:

14

Yes.

It went through the second district.

The one with the fourth district is still

15

there, but it's on a grant of hold so I'm not active in the

16

arguing.

18
19

10:44

THE COURT:

13

17

10:44

Well, there's a -- there's a case --

10:44

39

But, essentially, those cases are about whether


they can ban under, generally, Civil Code 3482.
Now, there are two state court cases pending,

20

alleging that the city's use of taxpayer dollars to call in

21

the federal government is because they are creatures of the

22

state under the Qualified Patients case, is a misuse of those

23

funds, thereby violating CCP 526(a), which prohibits those

24

types of illegal expenditures, and that the city should be

25

restrained from spending taxpayer dollars doing that.

No, not in this state.

MR. PAPPAS:

There is a pending -- there is a

the city council's announced institution of a complete ban

MR. PAPPAS:

He was, Judge Gray was, and his --

what has happened with that is that -- I think that

Didn't Iqbal and Twombly kind of kill Conley.

MR. PARHAM:

THE COURT:

I can't remember the context.


You might be careful about citing

Conley these days, because I think Iqbal and Twombly

eviscerated if not destroyed it.

MR. PARHAM:

Your Honor, if I can mention one other

point about the notice letter.


The city of Anaheim did, in fact, approach the US

12

government seeking our permission to attach a warning letter

13

from the Department of Justice to their warning letter that

14

they were sending to property owners and marijuana stores.

15

So what we provided to the -- to that city

16

and other cities who have requested the same thing, we have

17

provided a redacted version of the warning letters that we're

18

sending out all throughout the district, telling a property

19

owner, telling a store operator, that they need to stop the

20

illegal activity at the location within 14 days of the -- of

21

the letter.

22

It was an official DOJ letter.

23

It just wasn't addressed specifically to the

24
10:47

pleading.
Why would you cite the Conley case for pleading?

11

10:46

Let me ask, in your papers you cite Conley on

10

41

25

claimants in this instance.


THE COURT:

If I take this under submission

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

120312 DCCD GUILFORD 10D USA REAL PROPERTY SACV 12-1345-AG(MLGx)

and wait eight months do you think the four United States

attorneys in the State of California might change their mind

about what they want to be doing?

10:47

9

10:47

10:48

Your Honor, that is a topic within my

unit that is discussed almost daily.


We -- we wonder whether the department is going to
step forward and clarify the policy in this nation.
As the court is well aware of and as counsel
pointed out, three states have now passed what we believe are
very liberal marijuana laws -- Colorado, Washington state

11

and Massachusetts -- it's just begging -- in my view it's

12

begging the department to come forward and say "enough."


We have to enforce Title 21 or they're going to

14

have to create a policy that carves an exception out of these

15

laws, but that day has not come and I don't know when that

16

day will arrive, if at all.
