"A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request for a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Gov. Larry Hogan’s restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Blake wrote that granting a temporary restraining order blocking Hogan’s restrictions may cause more coronavirus infections.
The lawsuit was brought by a group of Republican politicians, pastors, small business owners, two military veterans and an anti-restrictions advocacy group who objected to the coronavirus restrictions on a variety of grounds.
In order to get the temporary restraining order, the plaintiffs would have had to show that they were likely to succeed in the overall lawsuit and that they would have suffered “irreparable harm” if the order wasn’t granted. Blake found that they had not done so."
