Date Filed Document Text
October 20, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 54 ORDER - Plaintiff Indiana Transportation Museum, Inc. ("ITM") owns several trains which it has operated on a rail line owned by Defendant Hoosier Heritage Port Authority ("HHPA") that runs through the cities of Fishers and Nobl esville, Indiana. In 2016, ITM was prohibited from operating its trains on HHPA tracks, and this lawsuit followed. Presently pending is a Motion to Dismiss filed by HHPA, [Filing No. 35 ], which is now ripe for the Court's decision. For the reasons stated in this Order, the Court DENIES IN PART HHPA's Motion to Dismiss, [Filing No. 35 ], to the extent that it exercises federal question jurisdiction over this matter; GRANTS IN PART HHPA's Motion to Dismiss, [Filing No. 35 ], to the extent that it finds that ITM has not stated a federal claim upon which relief can be granted and DISMISSES those claims against HHPA WITH PREJUDICE; DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE ITM's federal claims against Defendants City of Fishers and City of Noblesville; and Declines to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over, and DISMISSES WITH-OUT PREJUDICE, any state law claims ITM asserts against Defendants. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 10/20/2017. (APD)
July 13, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ORDER denying 3 Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Finally, the Court notes that ITM refers to its Petition for Temporary Restraining Order in its brief as its "Verified Petition for a Temporary Restraining Order and Prel iminary Injunction Hearing." [Filing No. 4 at 1.] To the extent that ITM requests a preliminary injunction hearing in its Petition for a Temporary Restraining Order, the Court DENIES that request because ITM has not filed a Motion for Prelimin ary Injunction. The Petition for a Temporary Restraining Order does not request a preliminary injunction. And while the Complaint discusses and requests a preliminary injunction, ITM cannot move for a preliminary injunction within its Complaint, and must file a separate motion and supporting brief. Should ITM do so, the Court will request that the Magistrate Judge confer with the parties - if and when that time comes - to set an appropriate briefing schedule. In sum, the Court DENIES ITM's Petition for Temporary Restraining Order, [Filing No. 3 ], because ITM has not complied with Rule 65(b)'s requirements for ex parte issuance of a temporary restraining order, and because ITM has not made an adequate showing under applicable law that a temporary restraining order is warranted. (SEE ORDER FOR MORE DETAILS.) Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 7/13/2017. (MRI)
