While info is scarce, it is reported that the Michigan Medical Marihuana Advocates, a doctor’s office that had specialized in certifications was emptied this past week by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. The officers were carrying out a civil judgement signed by a district court judge to seize all assets in order to satisfy a $3000 judgement against the doctors clinic.
Below are court documents left on the padlocked building. It appears, earlier this year, a billboard company, also located in Farmington Hills filed civil charges against the doctor, we assume for non-payment, which led to a full on seizure of all of the doctors business assets, records and files. Odd for a civil matter. Even more amazing, is the speed at which a judge signed a court order to sieze the doctor’s assets.
For patients that had used the facilities at 32730 Northwestern Highway in Farmington Hills, Michigan, we advise calling the clinic before showing for an office visit. It is not known if or when they will re-open.
This was my doctors office what will I do when I have to go back and see him in 2 months. Had seen him 2 cards now. Why do police have to mess with a legal thing. Reefer Madness.
man this was a good clinic with a great staff, I just got my card there and was about to send 4 more people down that way. Bummer.
$3000 cases are handled by small claim courts why will this pig sheriff seize all doctors assets in order to satisfy a $3000 judgement????????
When did any sheriff in history get involved in a small claim case?????
This is police corruptions at its best.
And why did this pig seize all assets in order to satisfy a $3000 judgement
Why didn’t he seize just $3000
And why did they raids the doctors office like a bunch of Wild hogs?
If the billboard. Company got a small claim judgment Against the doctor they can just hire a lawyer and the lawyer can get the money from the doctor bank account . Simple is that
And why and why and why ????????????
This is so sad! Myself and my patients have been going to this clinic since they opened in 2009 and I must say myself that they had outstanding service! I am very disappointed that I will not be able to receive my recertification papers through MMMA any longer… The state is making being legal almost impossible!
