COVID-19 Summary: This constitutional claims action was filed by Pennsylvania counties, residents, and businesses on May 7, 2020, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief from the state's public safety orders. The court granted declaratory relief to the plaintiffs on September 14, 2020.


The plaintiffs, four Pennsylvania counties and several Pennsylvania residents and business organizations, brought this action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on May 7, 2020 against the Governor of Pennsylvania and the Secretary of the state's Department of Health. The suit was in response to a March 19, 2020 order that prohibited the operation of non-"life sustaining" businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The plaintiffs claimed that the shutdown order violated the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, the Substantive and Procedural Due Process protections of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the First Amendment's right to free association. The plaintiffs sought an injunction preventing further enforcement of the business shutdown order and the elimination of the waiver system. They also sought a declaratory judgment that the issuance and enforcement of the order is unconstitutional.

On May 28, 2020, the court allowed the case to continue, despite an ease in restrictions. 2020 WL 2769105. The court found that declaratory relief for the plaintiffs could still be awarded even if injunctive relief was now impossible under their claims. However, the court did set aside plaintiffs' Fifth Amendment takings clause claims and their Fourteenth Amendment procedural due process claims regarding the state's waiver process. The court found that declaratory relief was not appropriate for either of these claims, but allowed the case to continue on all other claims.

On September 14, 2020, the court dismissed the county plaintiffs from the case, finding. District Judge William Stickman IV found that the county plaintiffs were improper because they are not conferred constitutional rights under the U.S. Constitution. 2020 WL 5510690. Judge Stickman determined that the defendants' limits on gatherings violated the plaintiffs' right to free speech and their right of assembly because the limitations were not narrowly tailored to serve a government interest. The court also found that the defendants' orders violated the plaintiffs' substantive due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, finding that broad and population and business lockdowns are nearly impossible under the Constitution. In addition, the court found that the business lockdowns violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, since large retailers largely remained open while small specialty stores were forced to close.

On October 1, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit granted a motion by the appellants for stay of the district court's order pending appeal. USCA Case Number 20-2936. The appeal is ongoing.

FINAL NOTICE: In preparation of the Court's conversion to NextGen, our Court's CM/ECF system will be unavailable from 12:00 p.m. (Noon) on Friday, May 22, 2020, until 11:59 pm. Monday, May 25, 2020. Please plan accordingly. Complete information, including a checklist of actions regarding the WDPA NexGen CM/ECF implementation, can be found here. Preparing for NextGen is a two-step process. The first step is to upgrade any legacy PACER accounts. The second step is to link that upgraded PACER account with your WDPA CM/ECF account after the Court goes live with NextGen. To link your account, you will need your current e-filing credentials from our Court. If your CM/ECF login contains any special characters (anything other than a letter or number), you will need to change it as logins with those characters will be unable to link to PACER accounts. No later than Thursday, May 21, 2020, you should log into both PACER and the current version of CM/ECF to review and record your current e-filing credentials for both, as you will need to know them in order to e-file after May 23, 2020. Please consult the Court's administrative order for additional information on deadlines and alternative filing options during this period. (Administrator, ) (ADI)
