Court sets briefing schedule and hearing for plaintiff's preliminary injunction motion

The court set a tight schedule for briefing and hearing on the plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction. The defendant must file her opposition by March 30, 2026. The plaintiff may file a reply by April 6, 2026.

Judge Ann M. Donnelly scheduled a hearing on the motion for April 14, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. in Courtroom 4G North.

The plaintiff is responsible for serving the defendant with the scheduling order, motion, declaration, and exhibits promptly and must file proof of service on the docket. This order aims to move the case quickly toward resolution on the injunction request. The underlying dispute and parties’ identities remain undisclosed in the public docket.

The court’s focus now centers on whether the plaintiff can show immediate harm warranting preliminary relief. The defendant’s opposition will likely challenge the plaintiff’s claims and the necessity of injunctive relief. The hearing will give both sides a chance to argue the merits before the court rules.

The case remains active with no final decision yet. The court’s scheduling order signals an expedited path to address the plaintiff’s urgent request.
