CLAY COUNTY — A hearing is set to be held Monday afternoon on a lawsuit filed by Republican State Representative Darren Bailey, of-Xenia, against Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

Bailey’s suit alleges his civil rights were violated by Pritzker’s Stay in Place orders that extended past 30 days from his initial order.

The suit also asks for an injunction against any further orders, including the one Pritkzer announced last week would take effect May 1.

The hearing is set for 1:30 p.m. in Clay County Circuit Court in Louisville.

Social distancing will be in place in the courtroom, so only about 90 people will be accommodated in the courtroom.

The presiding judge, Michael McHaney, of Salem, was contacted over the weekend by representatives for the governor, requesting a continuance in the case, but the request was denied.
