Before the Court is plaintiffs’ “Application for Temporary Restraining Order and
Order to Show Cause Regarding Preliminary Injunction,” filed April 18, 2016. By order
filed April 18, 2016, the Court denied the motion to the extent it sought issuance of a
temporary restraining order, and directed defendants to respond to the request for a
preliminary injunction. Thereafter, each defendant filed timely opposition, to which
plaintiff timely replied.
The matter came on regularly for hearing on today’s date. Joseph M. Alioto,
Jamie L. Miller, Thomas Paul Pier, and Gil D. Messina of the Alioto Law Firm appeared
on behalf of plaintiffs. J. Parker Erkmann and John C. Dwyer of Cooley LLP appeared on
behalf of defendant Airline Tariff Publishing Company; Daniel M. Wall and Sadik Huseny
of Latham & Watkins LLP appeared on behalf of defendant American Airlines, Inc.;
James P. Denvir and Michael Mitchell of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP appeared on
behalf of defendant Delta Air Lines, Inc.; and Peter K. Huston of Sidley Austin LLP
appeared on behalf of defendant United Airlines, Inc.
