LINE 7 26CV484360 Mohammad Khokhar OSC TRO/PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION v. Gene Kristul et al Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction is DENIED.

A preliminary injunction is an extraordinary remedy. In determining whether to issue such relief, the Court considers: (1) the likelihood that the moving party will prevail on the merits at trial, and (2) the interim harm the moving party is likely to sustain if the injunction is denied as compared to the harm the opposing party is likely to suffer if the injunction is issued.

Here, Plaintiff has not met the burden necessary to warrant preliminary injunctive relief. Based on the present record, Plaintiff has not demonstrated a reasonable probability of prevailing on the merits. In addition, Plaintiff has not established that immediate and irreparable harm will occur absent issuance of the requested injunction. Any alleged injury appears compensable through monetary damages or other relief available in the ordinary course of litigation.

The balance of harms and equities also does not weigh in favor of the requested injunction. On the current showing, the requested relief would impose burdens and restrictions disproportionate to the speculative or insufficiently supported harm asserted by Plaintiff.

Accordingly, the motion is DENIED.

Defendants to prepare the proposed order, accompanied by EFS- 020 within 7 days of the hearing.

Matter will remain as set for further Case Management Conference July 30, 2026 in Department 12.
