Conclusion

As with all decisions to be made during the pandemic, this is not one that can be taken lightly. The Court is aware of, and sympathetic to, the thousands of Ohioans
without work and in desperate need of any assistance available; however, the injuries suffered by said Ohioans, including plaintiffs here, are but one element for the Court’s
consideration on a motion for a preliminary injunction. Indeed, the Court simply cannot legislate from the bench and overlook the clear terms of R.C. 4141.45 and R.C. 4141.43(I).

Accordingly, for the reasons set forth herein, the Court finds plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction is not well-taken, and hereby
DENIES the same.

Though plaintiffs’ claims for declaratory judgment and a writ of mandamus remain pending, the Court finds that pursuant to R.C. 2505.02 and Civ.R. 54(B) this is a
final appealable order; there is no just reason for delay.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I’m assuming that this order will be or was already appealed.   We need that appeal brief.
