Florida’s attorney general is asking the state Supreme Court for another extension to file briefs in a case that will decide whether voters get the chance to consider a marijuana legalization initiative on the 2024 ballot.
Attorney General Ashley Moody (R), whose office is seeking to invalidate the cannabis measure, is currently due to reply to recent briefs from the campaign and supporters on Wednesday. Now she and outside groups that want to maintain marijuana prohibition are requesting a one-week extension from the court.
The attorney general—as well as the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Drug Free America Foundation—have “numerous other responsibilities during the relevant period,” the motion, filed on Monday, says. The official also previously requested a two-week deadline extension for initial briefs that the court granted.
Moody’s latest request notes that her office is tied up with fundamental administrative tasks, as well as filing briefs in two other unrelated court cases. Also, it pointed out that the court allowed ACLU of Florida to file its own brief two days after the last response deadline for supporters of the legalization measure.
