Constantine Village Council on April 5 discussed how to protect the village in a lawsuit filed by The Dude Abides, a medical/recreational marijuana provisioning center.
Village manager Mark Honeysett said the provisioning center seeks a preliminary injunction to effectively cancel a May 4 referendum election.
The referendum prohibits recreational marijuana sales in the village.
Named in the lawsuit are St. Joseph county clerk Lindsay Oswald, township clerk Ed Strobel and village clerk Cindy LaFluer.
The lawsuit does not seek any penalty or monetary compensation.
Honeysett said neither LaFluer nor the village should be named in a lawsuit, as they played no part in the referendum or election process.
