A medical marijuana company is asking a Cook County judge to dissolve a court order that is delaying its operation in Kankakee.
Cresco Labs will get a hearing today on its motion.
Judge Kathleen Kennedy granted the temporary restraining order two weeks ago. It halted the Illinois Department of Agriculture from issuing a marijuana cultivation permit to Cresco.
A competing company claimed the Department of Agriculture broke its own rules when it selected corporations for a limited number of cultivation permits. The competitor filed a lawsuit and others followed.
There are at least four Illinois medical marijuana growing operations entangled in litigation filed by competitors. Lawsuits and other court filings are gumming up the works for cultivators in Joliet, East St. Louis and Shelbyville.
