An influential consultancy faces allegations of negligence and civil rights violations in the latest chapter of a six-year legal battle. In a federal lawsuit, an unsuccessful applicant alleges Hinderliter de Llamas (HdL) “conspired” with the city of Chula Vista (San Diego Co.) to improperly deny it dispensary licenses.
Plaintiff CaliGrown seeks $14M in damages.
Orange County-based HdL is widely regarded as the leading consultancy for mid-wifing cities and counties though the licensing process. HdL has filed a motion to dismiss, arguing, among other points, that CaliGrown “is engaged in activity that is illegal under federal law.”
