The bankruptcy judge's decision comes just days after a group of local investors withdrew its bid in the sale. "Save Casa Bonita" withdrew its objections in court filings on Tuesday.

In the filing, the current owner said he had to lay off employees but the prospective owners have promised to rehire them.
