The case involves a situation where the plaintiff, (the person bringing the suit), is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. This means that the plaintiff is asking the court to declare the rights of each party and stop the defendant from doing a certain action.
In the case of Gonzales, the facts are set out under the section entitled "OPINION Justice Stevens delivered the opinion of the Court.". In this case, the plaintiffs are asking the court to declare what their rights are to be able to grow marijuana and to stop the federal government from prohibiting them from growing marijuana for medical purposes.
