The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled in favor of Michigan state officials on Tuesday, finding a roller-skating rink’s lawsuit over COVID-19 executive orders was correctly dismissed by the district court.
The plaintiff, Skatemore Inc., a corporation managing roller rinks in Michigan, along with Slim’s Rec Inc., a bowling alley and restaurant manager, were forced to close their doors to patrons on March 16, 2020, when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
