Opinion

HOLLENHORST, J.

— Defendant, cross-complainant and appellant Luna Crest Inc. (Luna) opened a medical marijuana dispensary within the city limits of plaintiff, cross-defendant and respondent City of Palm Springs (City). The Palm Springs Municipal Code requires a permit to operate a marijuana dispensary in the City, which Luna did not obtain. Luna contends that the City ordinance requiring a permit is preempted by federal law and, therefore, invalid and unenforceable. This appeal arises from the trial court’s order denying Luna’s motion for a preliminary injunction. We affirm.
