April 28, 2022 Filing 19 MEMORANDUM, PLAINTIFFSTHIRTEEN HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY ENTITIES AND THEIR PURPORTED OWNER AMOL KOHLI HAVING REQUESTED COVID-RELATED LOAN RELIEF FROM THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION, SEEK AN IMMEDIATE INJUNCTION REQUIRING THE AGENCY TO: PROCESS THEIR REQUESTS MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY; DISREGARD EVIDENCE THAT MAKES DISAPPROVAL OF THE LOAN REQUESTS LIKELY; AND SET ASIDE $6,036,600 SO THAT THE FUNDS CAN BE AWARDED TO PLAINTIFFS (EVEN THOUGH THE SBA HAS ALREADY INDICATED THAT IT WILL LIKELY DISAPPROVE THEIR REQUESTS). PLAINTIFFS MOTION SUFFERS FROM SO MANY DEFECTS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS SERIOUSLY INTENDED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS DISTRICT IS WITHOUT VENUE TO HEAR THIS MATTER AND THAT THIS COURT HAS NO JURISDICTION TO ISSUE A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST THE SBA. MOREOVER, PLAINTIFFS HAVE NOT REMOTELY MET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE MANDATORY INJUNCTION THEY SEEK. THEY ARE NOT LIKELY TO PREVAIL ON THE MERITS OF THE UNDERLYING DISPUTE. THEY HAVE NOT SHOWN THAT THEY WILL SUFFER IRREPARABLE HARM ABSENT AN INJUNCTION, NOR HAVE THEY EXPLAINED WHY THEY WAITED FOR WEEKS BEFORE SEEKING EMERGENCY RELIEF. FINALLY, ANY BALANCING OF INTERESTS WEIGHS HEAVILY AGAINST THIS COURT PRESCRIBING THE EFFICIENCY OF A FEDERAL AGENCY OR SUPERVISING HOW IT SHOULD MANAGE MATTERS ENTRUSTED TO IT BY CONGRESS.THE ONLY INDISPUTABLE CLARITY PLAINTIFFS HAVE MADE OUT IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THE EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF THEY SEEK. RATHER, BECAUSE PLAINTIFFS HAVE FAILED TO MAKE THE REQUISITE SHOWINGS OF A SUBSTANTIAL LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS, IMMEDIATE AND IRREPARABLE HARM, OR THAT THE BALANCE OF EQUITIES FAVORS ISSUANCE OF AN INJUNCTION, I WILL DENY THEIR MOTION. AN APPROPRIATE ORDER FOLLOWS.. SIGNED BY HONORABLE PAUL S. DIAMOND ON 4/28/2022. 4/28/2022 ENTERED AND COPIES E-MAILED.(rt)
