Plaintiff Rodney Hampton, Jr.'s Motion For Preliminary Injunction Indefinitely Suspending The Voting Privileges And Business Engagement Of Non Equity Partners Of CDXX, LLC is DENIED.
"A superior court must evaluate two interrelated factors when ruling on a request for a preliminary injunction: (1) the likelihood that the plaintiff will prevail on the merits at trial and (2) the interim harm that the plaintiff would be likely to sustain if the injunction were denied as compared to the harm the defendant would be likely to suffer if the preliminary injunction were issued." (Smith v. Adventist Health System/West (2010) 182 Cal.App.4th 729, 749.)
With respect to the merits, Plaintiff does not meaningfully analyze the elements of any asserted claim or explain how the evidence establishes a reasonable probability of prevailing on any claim. The moving papers are notably silent as to how Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits. The Court cannot simply presume merit; it must be demonstrated, which hasn't happened here.
Nor has Plaintiff established imminent or irreparable interim harm. On this record, the asserted harm is speculative and unsupported. Because Plaintiff has not demonstrated a reasonable probability of success on the merits or a likelihood of imminent interim harm, injunctive relief is not warranted. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion is denied.
