LOS ANGELES—A judge who previously denied a preliminary injunction sought by a group of Los Angeles firefighters—who sued the city regarding possible termination for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine—dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety.
Saying the balance of harms weighed against granting their request, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael P. Linfield issued his preliminary injunction ruling on Dec. 21, a day after hearing arguments in the lawsuit filed on Sept. 17 by the nonprofit Firefighters4Freedom Foundation, which represents more than 500 members of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
