MEDICAL MARIJUANA STORE OWNERS AGREE TO NOT REOPEN POT OPERATION

The owners of the sole storefront-style medical marijuana operation
in unincorporated Tehama County have agreed give up their lease or
convert the property to something non-marijuana related.

Mike and Dawn Jenkins signed a document in Tehama County Superior
Court agreeing not to maintain the facility or any other fixed
location where medical marijuana is regularly distributed while such
operations are banned by the county.

The agreement, signed by the Jenkinses, District Attorney Gregg
Cohen and a judge, asks the Jenkinses to keep the doors locked at
their Antelope Boulevard location, terminate any advertising and put
up the equivalent of closed signs on their answering machine and any
Web sites related to the operation.

Cohen previously sought an injunction against the non-profit.

The Jenkinses, whose operation sat next to the sheriff's department
on Antelope Boulevard, had asserted that they opened before the
county implemented a ban on medical marijuana operations.

Their assertion did little to deter Sheriff Clay Parker from issuing
citations against the Jenkinses for 35 days on end, citing the
couple for a pair of zoning violations related to the county ban.

Those citations still apply and are being handled by the court
separately, Cohen said. The court is scheduled to resume the matter
again Dec. 29.
