6-30-18 United States v Neece – Federal Case Dismissed
MM cardholder Neece was charged with possession of a controlled substance, 36 CFR 261.53(e) for possessing three joints in his kayak.
The feds alleged his possession in a national forest in violation of the MMMA because someone was seen smoking a joint.
Defendant moved to dismiss under the rider to the Consolidated Appropriations Act (f/k/a Rohrabacher-Farr or Rohrabacher-Blumenauer).
The court dismissed the case, citing McIntosh. The court held that strict compliance must be established to be dismissed. Had the officers seen Neece smoking in public, in violation of the MMMA 333.26427(b)(3), the court would not have dismissed the case.
A big hearty congratulations to Michael Komorn and the Komorn Law team for this victory. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first Michigan MM case to dismissed in federal court for violating the rider.
