Following a pressure campaign from Gavin Newsom, on Friday a three-judge panel of California’s Fourth District Court of Appeal blocked a lower court’s order that had allowed restaurants in San Diego County to reopen for indoor and outdoor dining despite violating the governor’s orders.

The decision came two days after San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel Wohlfeil issued an injunction blocking local and state officials from keeping all restaurants in San Diego County closed. The ruling was made in response to a lawsuit filed by two strip clubs earlier in the fall.

Back in early November, Wohlfeil issued a temporary injunction against cease-and-desist orders against the strip clubs that had been issued by county officials. His ruling Wednesday essentially extended the injunction to the state level and added “San Diego County businesses with restaurant service” to it as well.

“These business establishments provide sustenance to and enliven the spirits of the community, while providing employers and employees with means to put food on the table and secure shelter, clothing, medical care, education and, of course, peace of mind for they and their families,” he reportedly wrote in Wednesday’s ruling.
