INGHAM COUNTY, MI – A restraining order has been issued against an Upper Peninsula café that has refused to shutdown amid the COVD-19 pandemic. Ingham County Judge Wanda Stokes issued the order against Café Rosetta of Calumet on Thursday because it has continued to operate without a valid food service establishment license. Café Rosetta had already received a cease-and-desist order and summary suspension order from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD). When Café Rosetta continued to offer indoor dining after this ruling, MDARD submitted a motion for a temporary restraining order to the 30th Judicial Circuit in Ingham County. “If we did close at that point, or only offer take-out, our business would be destroyed.”The temporary restraining order reaffirms the decisions and actions of the state regarding Café Rosetta’s operations, state officials said in a news release.
