A California appeals court on Friday evening blocked a judge’s
order that allowed San Diego restaurants to resume indoor
dining.
Governor Newsom’s lockdown order is now in full effect in San
Diego.
A California judge on Thursday snubbed Governor Newsom’s
authoritarian Covid order and said San Diego restaurants can resume
indoor dining.
The case was originally brought to the court by two San Diego
strip club owners.
Newsom recently put most of California in the most restrictive
“purple tier” lockdown and closed virtually all indoor
businesses. Only big box retailers that sell stuff made in China
are allowed to stay open while small businesses are forced to close
down.
Cheetahs Gentlemen’s Club and Pacers Showgirls International
led the way and previously sued the county and state.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel Wohlfeil last month said
strip clubs are exempt from Newsom’s Covid order and during a
hearing on Thursday clarified his previous injunction also included
all restaurants.
However, Newsom’s lawyers immediately asked for emergency
intervention to close down restaurants and punish small business
owners.
“In the midst of the worst surge in the COVID-19 pandemic …
a single trial court judge has unilaterally thwarted public efforts
to avert that looming catastrophe, by issuing an injunction that
allows all restaurants in San Diego County to reopen without any
restriction, contrary to the orders and judgment of the State’s
top health officials,” lawyers for Newsom wrote in their filing
with California’s Fourth Appellate District.
A three-judge panel in California’s 4th Appellate District
immediately sided with Newsom’s lawyers and did not give an
explanation for their decision to block the judge’s order.
