Orange County sheriff's officials reserve such meals for inmates with religious needs, so a judge demanded a religious reason for King to get the meals.
His defense attorney, Fred Thiagarajah, cited his client's devotion to Festivus -- the holiday celebrated on the hit TV show with an aluminum pole and the airing of grievances.
Sheriff's spokesman Ryan Burris says King got salami-free meals for two months before the county got the order thrown out in court.
