Judge Donnelly finds plaintiff likely to succeed in preliminary injunction motion

On April 29, 2026, Judge Ann M. Donnelly held a motion hearing on the plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction. The plaintiff was represented by Marilyn Yuan, while Louis Pechman and Miguel Tapia Colin appeared for the defendant.

The court found that the plaintiff showed a strong likelihood of success on the merits of its claims and demonstrated that it would suffer irreparable harm if the injunction was not granted. The judge also concluded that the public interest favored issuing the injunction, citing precedent from Red Earth LLC v. United States, 657 F.3d 138, 143 (2d Cir.

2011).

The court granted the plaintiff’s motion but modified the scope of the injunction based on discussions during the hearing. The injunction prohibits the defendant from using or disclosing certain information, though the minute order does not specify the exact terms. This relief aims to preserve the status quo while the case proceeds, preventing harm that could not be undone through monetary damages alone.

The case remains active, but the docket number, filing date, and court have not been publicly disclosed. The judge’s findings at this early stage suggest the plaintiff’s claims have substantial legal weight. The defendant’s counsel will likely challenge the injunction’s scope or the underlying claims in subsequent filings.

This ruling sets a significant procedural milestone. It limits the defendant’s actions pending further litigation and signals the court’s preliminary assessment of the plaintiff’s position. The parties will now prepare for the next phases, including discovery and potentially a trial on the merits.

The record does not reveal the full nature of the dispute or the specific claims involved. The injunction’s terms and the court’s reasoning will become clearer as the case develops and additional filings become public.
