The Eugene-based medical marijuana group Compassion Center is trying to regroup after a board member removed medical files, sued to dissolve the organization and tried to start her own rival group.
The center offered classes and support for people seeking a marijuana card from the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program as well as for cardholders.
But it closed in July after the battle over its control, leaving about 2,000 Eugene-area marijuana cardholders with no place to turn for advice and support.
As part of a court-approved settlement, the two battling board members agreed to resign. Four newly appointed members will pick a fifth, and the center should reopen soon.
