Attorneys for Garfield County and the owner of Shooters Grill in Rifle are in talks to reinstate the restaurant\u2019s food service license, but the matter is no longer before the courts.<\/p>\n

The county on Tuesday moved to dismiss the temporary restraining order against Shooters that was filed May 13. However, the license suspension that occurred two days later remains in effect, Garfield County Attorney Tari Williams said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not necessary to proceed with the hearing \u2026 due to the variance approval and the new [governor\u2019s] executive order,\u201d Williams said of the latest actions by the state allowing restaurants to reopen at 50% capacity.<\/p>\n

Shooters owner Lauren Boebert was cited<\/a> for operating against public health orders when she reopened to in-restaurant dining May 9, in open defiance of the rules aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19 in Colorado.<\/p>\n
