SANTA ANA (CNS) - A panel of appellate court justices rejected a writ from Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes to suspend a lower court ruling ordering a halving of the county s jail population to better conform with COVID-19 health guidelines.
Presiding Justice Kathleen O Leary of the Fourth District Court of Appeals, Division 3, authored the ruling with Justice Raymond Ikola concurring and Justice David Thompson dissenting.
The justices noted that Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter J. Wilson s order issued earlier this month did not order Barnes to cut the jail population in half before a scheduled Jan. 8 hearing.
