The key point is she lost this case based on Bevin changing the handling of the licenses so she was no longer being "harmed." It doesn't say whether or not she was still objecting to whatever the rules are after Bevin's changes. Very undetailed article.

The court dismissed the case, saying Davis is not experiencing irreparable harm.
