Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) John Mulrooney has cancelled the long-awaited cannabis re-scheduling hearing set for next week.  Pro-reform advocates have suggested that the DEA had improper communications with re-scheduling opponents, and filed a request for leave to file an interlocutory appeal. ALJ Mulrooney granted this request and has stayed proceedings for at least 90 days.  Next week also brings a new administration, which, together with other ongoing litigation concerning the hearings, could add a layer of complexity to the situation.
