A Prince George’s County Circuit Court judge denied a request by the owner of a Capitol Heights nightclub to suspend the new law county officials used to close the venue after a drive-by shooting on Aug. 8 left one woman dead. Attorneys for MSG nightclub requested a restraining order and permanent injunction of the law, known as the dance hall bill, on Monday.

Using the new law, Prince George’s County police and the Department of Environmental Resources shuttered MSG for operating as a dance hall without a proper license the night of the shooting.
