Orange County Judge Says He’s Satisfied with Sheriff’s COVID-19 Mitigation Efforts However, the ongoing lawsuit is not over. “Just to be clear in what I’m saying today: This does not moot the lawsuit or moot the issues, but what it does establish is that as of this date, I am satisfied that the sheriff is acting in substantial compliance with the court’s orders in reducing and managing [the] inmate population,” Superior Court Judge Peter J. Wilson said during a Feb. 16 court hearing. The judge’s words came after Orange County attorney Kevin Dunn said that the current arguments of the court have completely changed from the original American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawsuit, which said that county inmates were being hurt from a COVID-19 outbreak in jails.
