|    TURMEL: Left-Outs Burrows & Roy Appeal P    |
|    03 Jul 14 21:44:29    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              TURMEL: Left-Outs Burrows & Roy Appeal Phelan J. MedPot Nix              JCT: Terry Parker filed last week and now Stephen Burrows       and Robert Roy filed today. The Crown may have been able to       duck dealing with individual cases by lumping us all       together but now they have to answer one at a time. Let them       have fun explaining why people should die!               File No: A-289-14        FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL              BETWEEN:        STEPHEN PATRICK BURROWS        Appellant        And        HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN        Respondent               NOTICE OF MOTION              TAKE NOTICE THAT the Appellant's urgent motion, on short       notice if applicable, will be made in writing to a judge of       this Court.              THE MOTION SEEKS an interim constitutional exemption from       the prohibitions on marihuana in the CDSA for the       Appellant's Personal Medical Use pending this appeal.              THE GROUNDS ARE THAT the Appellant's Right to Life will be       infringed upon if Appellant's motion an Interim       Constitutional Exemption for Personal Medical Use is denied.              AND FOR ANY ORDER abridging any time for service or amending       any error or omission which this Honourable Court may allow.              Dated at Halifax on July 3 2014.       For the Appellant:       Stephen Patrick Burrows               APPELLANT'S WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS              1. I have cancerous tumors on my groin for which no local       doctor would prescribe me marijuana.              2. In 2011, Dr. Rob Kammermans of Ontario came to do a       clinic in Nova Scotia and signed my Authorization for       marijuana after examining my tumors.              3. On Oct 1 2012, a letter from Health Canada revoked my       exemption because the good doctor had not returned to       Ontario where he was registered to practice but had signed       my Authorization in Nova Scotia. Health Canada revoked the       exemptions for medication to thousands of patients and       condemned me and others to death for this same non-medical       reason.              4. In November, I found a doctor in B.C. to sign my renewed       Authorization to Possess for 2013 after a Skype interview.       Having been signed in the right province, that medical       opinion was judged valid by Health Canada. It cost me $400       for my appointment. My Affidavit has before and after       pictures of the tumors.              4. On Jan 13 2014, my exemption Possess and Grow Permits       expired and I lost my Designated Grower. I could not apply       to renew under the MMAR because:       1) any new crop reaped would have had to be destroyed on       April 1 2014 upon the Health Canada Directive;       2) it would have been a waste of another $400;       3) I could not afford to apply under the MMPR for the high-       priced product sold by a Licensed Producer.              5. On Mar 3 2014, having been out of affordable marijuana       for months, I filed a Statement of Claim in Federal Court       for repeal of the MMAR based on 16 identified constitutional       violations, repeal of the MMPR based on 20 identified       constitutional violations, and repeal of the prohibitions by       striking the word "marijuana" from Schelule II of the CDSA.              6. I also filed Motion for an interim exemption for Personal       Medical Use with my Authorization To Possess Number in an       Affidavit attesting to my need of marijuana for my cancers.              7. On Mar 10 2014, my motion was stayed pending the Mar 21       2014 decision of the motion for interim relief in Allard v.       HMTQ [T-2030-13]. The Allard action represents the concerns       of the Coalition "Against MMAR Repeal" who have       Authorizations To Possess while I am "For MMAR Repeal"       because it permitted my medication to be stopped for a non-       medical reason. Such polar opposite remedies are not       "substantially similar."              8. The Allard case seeks to end the MMPR prohibitions on:       a) cannabis derivatives;       b) outdoor growing;       c) in-home growing;       d) possession of more than 150 grams.              9. I do not have legal access so that the resolution of       those 4 issues of those Against MMAR repeal does not affect       me and cannot significantly narrow any of the 36 issues I am       raising for MMAR repeal.              10. On Mar 21 2014, Justice Manson ruled in Allard that all       Grow Permits were grandfathered to Oct 1 2013 but not       Possess Permits. Only those with current ATPs would continue       to be exempted. I was "Left-Out" of the Manson relief.              11. On Mar 31 2014, my motion was once again stayed upon a       motion by the Her Majesty in Default of filing a Statement       of Defence for a stay of my Action pending the final       decision in Allard v. HMTQ (T-2030-13) on the basis that I       am "seeking relief which is substantially similar to that       being sought by the Allard Plaintiffs" due to the 4 issues       in common whose resolution would "significantly narrow" the       issues I am raising.              12. On the Apr 29 2014, the Crown-in-Default's motion for       the stay was heard by Justice Phelan. At the hearing, I       explained to Justice Phelan why my ATP was not current and I       had been left-out of the Manson relief. I pointed out I had       no reason to be waiting to see what remedy they would       receive when I could not share in it. I told the Court I had       all my documentation and pictures of my tumors reducing in       size.              13. On Jun 4 2014, Justice Phelan stayed my Action pending       the final decision in Allard and dismissed my motion for       interim exemption for Personal Medical Use ruling:        Perhaps most importantly, the claimants have failed to        establish at this time that the medical exemption        provided by the MMAR or MMPR violates their Charter        rights in a way that would be remedied by the proposed        constitutional exemption.              14. Since neither the MMAR nor MMPR serve my medical need, a       continued violation of my right to life remains while I have       no exemption for access for medical use. The validity of the       exemption is being challenged for the same unaffordability       for which the Allard Plaintiffs were granted remedy. Not       being able to afford the MMPR seemed good enough reason to       grant the Allards their protection, it should be good enough       reason to have granted me mine too.              15. Justice Phelan further ruled:        [21] In the Allard Injunction hearing, Justice Manson        declined to issue a similar constitutional exemption. He        wrote at para 124:        "The first form of relief requested by the Applicants [a        constitutional exemption] is inappropriate. It would        exempt medically-approved patients and their designates        from the possession, trafficking, and possession for the        purposes of production provisions in the CDSA without              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
