Duke Rodriguez, principal officer of Ultra Health in North Scottsdale, has hired a Scottsdale attorney to represent his company when it pursues a lawsuit against the town of Florence.

Jeffrey S. Kaufman will represent Ultra Health when it begins its legal battle to establish a medical marijuana dispensary in Florence. Kaufman specializes in medical marijuana litigation.

Rodriguez said the decision comes in the aftermath of the Town Council’s 5-2 vote on March 17, which denied a conditional use permit to his company to dispense medical marijuana, and simultaneously, voided his company’s purchase of the River Bottom Grill site, 2501 N. Pinal Parkway, for the dispensary.

The lawsuit could be filed in Pinal County Superior Court as soon as tomorrow, Rodriguez said. James Mannato, Florence town attorney, said that until he sees the details of the lawsuit, “it would be premature to comment.”
