A moratorium on evictions imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has no binding authority in Hamilton County, the county’s municipal court said in a statement Thursday.

The court’s judges voted on the issue, an official said.
The statement cited a July 23 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that said the CDC exceeded its authority by imposing a 60-day moratorium.
The announcement was made the same day county and city officials and others called for the court to honor the moratorium, saying the county is an area of “substantial spread” of COVID-19.
