Marijuana plants moved with state’s permission, Denver family says
Owners of a now-closed medical-marijuana dispensary who are facing federal charges for allegedly running an unlicensed grow warehouse say they received state permission to move 1,200 cannabis plants into the warehouse.
“Though medical marijuana may be a relatively new area of the law, the tactic employed by law enforcement in this case is the same dirty feet in a new pair of shoes,” attorney Ariel Benjamin, who represents Ha Do, writes in one of the motions.

Springer & Steinberg, P.C. wins appeal in confirmation of arbitration award case
Springer & Steinberg, P.C., on behalf of plaintiff, the Estate of Salvadore Guido (estate), appealed the district court’s order denying its motion to confirm an arbitration award as time-barred. The order was reversed and the case was remanded.
Salvadore Guido brought a medical malpractice action against Lutheran Medical Center, which was a predecessor entity to defendant Exempla, Inc. (Exempla). The parties agreed to submit the claims to arbitration and, in June 1998, the arbitrator awarded Guido $20,000, plus interest and costs. Guido died in September 2009. In December 2010, the estate filed a motion to confirm the arbitrator’s award, alleging that the amounts awarded to Guido in the arbitration were never paid or satisfied.
The estate contended that the district court erred in denying its confirmation motion as time-barred under the six-year statute of limitations applicable to actions to recover a liquidated debt set forth in CRS § 13-80-103.5(1)(a). An application for confirmation is not a complaint that initiates a civil action in the district court. There is a clear statutory framework for the confirmation process under the Colorado Uniform Arbitration Act of 1975, which does not impose a deadline to file an application to confirm the award. Therefore, the district court mischaracterized the confirmation proceeding as an action to recover a liquidated debt pursuant to CRS § 13-80-103.5(1)(a). Accordingly, the order was reversed and the case was remanded to the district court with directions to reconsider the estate’s motion to confirm the arbitration award.

Williams sought millions but pleased with verdict.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Marcus Williams won his case against former Oakland Raiders teammate Bill Romanowski. He just won’t be receiving the millions he was seeking after his face was smashed by a punch two years ago.
“Bill is relieved and pleased and has always felt badly about the incident and offered to help Marcus out,” Springer said. “Instead, Marcus filed a lawsuit and tried to get a payday. When you add up all the costs to get there, this is anything but a payday.” Read entire story.
