Judge Sides With CDC For Now On Florida Cruise Injunction
Law360 (July 26, 2021, 5:16 PM EDT) -- A federal judge on Monday rebuffed Florida's arguments that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention violated a preliminary injunction he granted the state in its challenge to the agency's pandemic-related restrictions on the cruise industry, but he expressed willingness to revisit the issue.
Hours after hearing arguments from the parties in the hotly contested case, Tampa-based U.S. District Court Judge Steven D. Merryday said in a written order that he was deferring ruling on the state's emergency motion asking him to consider whether the CDC should be held in contempt.
