(Reuters) - As freezing temperatures settled over Kansas City, Missouri, on Jan. 28, Judge Jack Grate opened his online courtroom. The first of 100 cases on his docket was that of Tonya Raynor, a 64-year-old who owed $2,790 in back rent and fees on an apartment on the cityâs east side, a swath of vacant storefronts and boarded-up properties.
âMiss Raynor, are you there?â asked Grate, a burly 71-year-old sporting a beard, a buzz cut and a rumpled, orange short-sleeve shirt.
A booming voice responded: âThis is not justice. This is violence.â Soon a chorus joined in: âJudge Grate, you are making people homeless! You are killing people!â

MEDFORD, Ore. Disputing claims of her alleged political bias point-by-point, a federal judge refused to step aside in an Eagle Point, Ore., man’s $21 billion lawsuit seeking to halt the governor’s emergency orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken on Wednesday denied for a second time Southern Oregon rancher Francis Steffan Hayes’ request for a preliminary injunction putting a stop to state emergency orders. Hays claims in a lawsuit that that his constitutional rights were violated because he couldn’t buy feed for his livestock last summer without wearing a mask.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. â OâDowdâs Gastrobar said in a court filing Jan. 28 that itâs unable to generate enough revenue to meet operating expenses because of Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucasâ emergency health orders.
The Irish-themed Country Club Plaza bar and restaurant sued Lucas in Jackson County Circuit Court last week, arguing that the restrictions in place â most notably a midnight closing time and social distancing requirements â have left OâDowdâs unable to meet financial obligations for rent, utilities, payroll and vendor payments among other expenses.
