David Larmar, et al. v. Latoria Grant, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana denied Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction after finding that Plaintiffs had not made the required showing under the applicable four-factor test. The Court ordered Plaintiffs to ensure valid service of the Complaint and motion on Defendants and stated that it would address further proceedings concerning the preliminary-injunction motion after Defendants appeared.

Holdings

1. Plaintiffs were not entitled to preliminary injunctive relief because they failed to demonstrate the required factors for such relief.
2. Plaintiffs were ordered to ensure that valid service of the Complaint and motion for preliminary injunction had been made on Defendants in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure before the court would take up further proceedings after Defendants appeared.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Plaintiffs satisfied the four-factor standard for preliminary injunctive relief.
2. Whether Plaintiffs were required to complete valid service of the Complaint and motion on Defendants before further proceedings on the preliminary-injunction motion.
