"Save Casa Bonita" withdrew its objections in court filings on Tuesday. The owner of the iconic restaurant has reached a deal with Parker and Stone, who are from Colorado, to sell for $3.1 million.

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