The Supreme Court has denied a request filed by a group of Pennsylvania businesses seeking to overturn an executive order issued by the state’s governor that closes “non-life-sustaining” businesses in response to the CCP virus pandemic.

The top court on May 6 denied the application to stay the enforcement of the governor’s order, without providing a reason. The application was filed by Friends of Danny DeVito, a committee supporting a GOP state representative candidate, a real estate agent, a public golf course, a laundry company, and a timber management company.
