LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A judge today granted a temporary restraining order allowing the city of Burbank to enforce its closure order of a local restaurant that had continued offering outdoor dining service during the coronavirus pandemic despite the revocation of its health and conditional-use permits.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff issued the TRO against Barfly Inc., the operating company of the Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill on Magnolia Boulevard.
Restaurant attorney Mark Geragos argued that the city was shutting down a business and taking away the livelihood of its owners without giving them sufficient notice of the lawsuit.
The city of Burbank is seeking a judge's permission to cut off the electricity of a local restaurant and padlock the doors in order to enforce its closure order to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
