U.S. judge refuses to block Gov. Wolf’s COVID-19 inspired ban on indoor dining Updated Dec 24, 2020; Posted Dec 23, 2020 Fenicci's of Hershey is one of the central Pennsylvania restaurants that unsuccessfully challenged Gov, Wolf's ban on indoor dining in federal court. Dan Gleiter | dgleiter@pennlive.com Facebook Share Saying the edict doesn’t violate the U.S. Constitution, a federal judge Wednesday refused a plea by two midstate restaurants and a local trade association to block Gov. Tom Wolf from enforcing his temporary COVID-19 related ban on indoor dining at restaurants. U.S. Middle District Judge Christopher C. Conner stressed that he understands the economic pain the dine-in prohibition is causing. Still, he concluded his court cannot intervene in the absence of a civil rights violation which the Hershey Independent Restaurant Association and the owners of the Fenicci’s of Hershey and The River House Bar & Grill failed to demonstrate.
