Mykola Kovalchuk v. Christopher McGregor, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Arizona granted the petitioner’s motion to expedite and extended a temporary restraining order for an additional fourteen days to allow the court to consider the request for a preliminary injunction. The court ordered respondents to file by April 1, 2026, a statement addressing whether they oppose a preliminary injunction limited to the period pending a decision by the First Circuit in the D.V.D. matter.

Holdings

1. Good cause existed to extend the temporary restraining order for an additional fourteen days so the court could review the parties' positions and issue a reasoned decision on the request for a preliminary injunction.
2. Respondents were required to file a supplement explaining whether they opposed issuance of a preliminary injunction limited to the period pending the First Circuit's decision in D.V.D.

Questions Presented

1. Whether good cause existed to extend the temporary restraining order for an additional fourteen-day period.
2. Whether respondents should address opposition to a preliminary injunction limited to the period pending the First Circuit's decision in D.V.D.
3. Whether petitioner's individualized request for relief could be considered notwithstanding respondents' argument that the claims were subsumed within D.V.D.
