Please note that if you do file a motion to appear remotely, the court strongly prefers video over telephone appearance.

If you are the specific attorney or self-represented party who will be arguing, use the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HEARING NOTICE filing type in ACMS no later than 28 days before the hearing date.

Filing 58
ORDER FILED. Before the Court is Plaintiffs-Appellants (Plaintiffs) Motion for an Injunction Pending Appeal (Dkt. 27) under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 8(a)(2). The motion is DENIED.1 An injunction pending appeal is a extraordinary remedy that may only be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief. Tandon v. Newsom, 992 F.3d 916, 917 (9th Cir. 2021) (quoting Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008)). The party seeking the injunction must demonstrate that she is likely to succeed on the merits, that she is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in her favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest. Doe v. San Diego Unified Sch. Dist., 19 F.4th 1173, 1176 (9th Cir. 2021) (citation modified). . . . Because Plaintiffs failure to establish irreparable injury is dispositive of their request for relief, we decline to address the remaining requirements for granting injunctive relief. See All. for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1135 (9th Cir. 2011) (Winter tells us that plaintiffs may not obtain a preliminary injunction unless they can show that irreparable harm is likely to result in the absence of the injunction.). This order is entered by the undersigned at the direction of the assigned panel. (SEE ORDER FOR FULL TEXT) [Entered: 12/22/2025 04:43 PM]
