Last week, Judge Joel Wohlfeil ruled that all San Diego County restaurants and businesses with restaurant service were exempted from enforcement of California’s regional C****-** stay-at-home order following a lawsuit brought against San Diego County by two strip-club owners back in October.
The judge ruled that San Diego County had not provided adequate evidence tying the spread of C****-** or lack of intensive care unit bed capacity to live adult entertainment or businesses with restaurant service.
The California Court of Appeals quickly blocked that injunction. So everything returned to where it was.
Small business owners are finding their backbone, and the defiance movement is growing.
Peggy Hall, a pioneer in this movement, gave a rousing speech to a rally of hundreds of small-business entrepreneurs and their friends at the Village Restaurant in San Diego, reminding everyone that the shut-down in California is unlawful, because no governor can make a law, no mayor can make a law, no health officer can make a law, and no code enforcer can make a law.
A law can only come from the legislature. Governor Newsom has admitted that his edicts are just ‘guidelines’, and that he is trying to make the restaurants become the enforcers of his policies, because he lacks the authority to do so. -GEG (G. Edward Griffin)
An appeals court today stayed a judge’s decision to halt enforcement of C****-** restrictions against San Diego County restaurants, meaning eateries must again abide by the state’s regional stay-at-home order, at least for now.
Lawyers for the state filed the emergency challenge to San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil’s preliminary injunction, which was issued Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by two San Diego strip clubs that the judge ultimately ruled could remain open.
Wohlfeil’s ruling also encompassed all restaurants in the county and all businesses that provide “restaurant service.”
Three justices from the Fourth District Court of Appeals, District One, read and considered the order and stayed the injunction “pending further order of this court.” The court ordered any oppositions to the state’s filing to be submitted by noon Wednesday, according to an appeals court docket.
Lawyers from the state argued that Wohlfeil overreached in his ruling, as no restaurants were parties in the suit initially filed in October by Cheetahs Gentleman’s Club and Pacers Showgirls International.
Meanwhile, the county Board of Supervisors met in closed session Friday afternoon to discuss legal options regarding the judge’s ruling, and ultimately v**ed to join the state in its appeal.
A statement from Board of Supervisor Chairman Greg Cox said the board would only direct county attorneys to argue against the portion of Wohlfeil’s ruling that applies to strip clubs’ continued operation and allowing indoor dining.
