Sided with governor kate brown in the legal battle over her covid-19 restrictions.
The court ruled a baker county judge was wrong when he ruled her stay home orders violated a time limit and had expired.
10 churches, including one in douglas county, filed a lawsuit, claiming brown violated their rights to gather for a religious service.
The court ruled that the baker county judge's preliminary injunction was based on a legal error -- because the time limit was incorrect.
It said the governor declared a state of emergency under a different state law.
Kezi 9 news reporter evita garza spoke with some of the plantiffs in douglas county -- about how they're putting this lawsuit behind them.
