A local adult entertainment club has asked a judge to backtrack on her ruling that she would not stop Douglas County from enforcing a health order, and it’s now citing a recent San Diego court case.
Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the owner of Paradise Saloon in Lawrence filed a lawsuit that, in part, asked a judge to issue a temporary restraining order that would have prevented county health officials from enforcing restrictions at that establishment. As the Journal-World has reported, Judge Kay Huff recently denied that request, but the civil case continues in Douglas County District Court.

A judge has declined to stop Douglas County from enforcing a health order against Paradise Saloon, an adult entertainment club in Lawrence, while a civil case is pending.
Since the case was filed in Douglas County District Court in early October, attorney Robert “Tuck” Duncan has raised several arguments against local health restrictions put in place to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. Though the specifics of the health order have fluctuated as local COVID-19 cases have risen and fallen, it has at times restricted the hours that bars can operate, including curbside or takeout food service.
