Michael J. Dee, appellant pro se. Evert Fowle, District Attorney, and Patricia K. Poulin, Asst. Dist. Atty., Augusta, for appellee State of Maine.
Panel: ALEXANDER, LEVY, SILVER, MEAD, GORMAN, and JABAR, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
[¶ 1] Michael J. Dee appeals from the judgment of the District Court (Augusta, Sparaco, J.) finding that he committed the civil violation of possessing a useable amount of marijuana. See 22 M.R.S. § 2383(1)(A) (2011). We affirmed this judgment in an earlier memorandum of decision, State v. Dee, Mem-12-7 (Me.2012), which Dee moved us to reconsider pursuant to M.R.App. P. 14(b). We do so and again affirm.
[¶ 2] Dee argues that Maine's prohibition of the possession of marijuana unconstitutionally infringes on his right to due process guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is not the first time that Dee has litigated the constitutionality of marijuana prohibitions before the courts of Maine and elsewhere.
