SAN DIEGO (CNS) - An appeals court Friday overturned a San Diego judge s ruling allowing county restaurants to reopen amid COVID-19 restrictions, finding that he issued an overbroad injunction that was unsupported by the law.
The appellate panel decision concerned last month s preliminary injunction issued by San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel R. Wohlfeil prohibiting the state of California and San Diego County from enforcing pandemic restrictions on all county restaurants.
The injunction, which stemmed from a lawsuit brought by two San Diego strip clubs challenging the state s pandemic restrictions, was expanded to encompass all county restaurants through Wohlfeil s injunction, a decision that was quickly appealed by the state and county.
