These patients were promised confidentiality and an opportunity to grow their own medicine. This act and these patients are under attack. In Bloomfield Township, this attack came in the form of ordinances.

| Bloomfield Township Motion to Dismiss |
Bloomfield Township, an affluent in Oakland County, filed a Motion to Dismiss that read less like a legimiate motion to dismiss and seemed more like a threat or an effort to initimidate our client, Doe and Roe. Doe and Roe just want an opportunity to have a decide their rights and the meaning of the Statute when compared to the Michigan Medical Marijuna Act. However, they want to do so and still retain their right to privacy. In other words, their medical conditions are private. Their identities are private. Bloomfield Township is trying to intimidate our clients into dropping their lawsuit or having to reveal their identity. Both Loeb and I saw right through it. We knew that these compassionate people who relied on the promise of their information being held confidential were being taunted and dared: "identify yourself or drop your suit." We were nonplussed and remain so. The battle has just begun. We will not be intimidated. Our clients will be protected.
