Appeals Court rules Ace Speedway can sue the state of North Carolina over ordered COVID shutdown by Democrat Gov Roy Cooper's overreach of power

The North Carolina Court of Appeals, in a 3-0 decision, on Tuesday said that ACE’s lawsuit could go forward against Dr. Mandy Cohen, former head of the NC Department of Health and Human Services, about whether she went beyond her authority when closing the race track during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ruling by three judges indicated they felt this move by Cohen and Gov. Roy Cooper could have violated the state’s constitution and been an overreach of the state’s power.
