US Supreme Court directs Nevada governor to respond to Covid church limit challenge

Washington D.C., Jan 11, 2021 / 07:01 pm (CNA).- The Supreme Court has given the governor of Nevada eight days to file a response to a church which argued that the state’s COVID-19 protocol was discriminatory against houses of worship.

In an order published Jan. 11, the Supreme Court directed Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) to respond to Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley before noon on Jan. 19. Calvary Chapel Dayton has until noon on Jan. 21 to file a reply brief.

In November, Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley asked the Supreme Court, again, to consider their case. They argued that the state’s COVID-19 protocols, which limited the capacity of religious services to 50 people regardless of the capacity of the building, were discriminatory. Other businesses, including casinos, are permitted to operate with 25% capacity.
