Extension
Request
for
Hemp
Food
Rehearing
4/23/04
Two months ago, Drug War
Chronicle reported a major court victory won by hemp industries against
the DEA's attempt to ban hemp foods (https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/324/hempvictory.shtml).
DEA's legal maneuverings in this area appear to be fizzling to a sorry
ending.
Earlier this week, DEA attorneys
filed a petition for rehearing en banc by the 9th Circuit, but they submitted
it one day after the deadline -- forcing them to have to file a motion
for permission to file it one day late. The 9th Circuit denied the
motion -- refusing even to consider DEA's petition for rehearing, let alone
grant a rehearing.
DEA has filed a motion to
reconsider that denial.
