ERIC GRIFFIN, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES WHITE HOUSE ADMIN., et al., Defendants.

2:10-CV-1175 JCM (PAL)

ORDER Presently before the court is plaintiff Eric Griffin's motion for temporary injunction, requesting protection of the United States Secret Service until the lawsuit is resolved. (Doc. #16). A court may issue a preliminary injunction when the moving party shows: (1) a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) possibility of irreparable injury if preliminary relief is not granted; (3) balance of hardships; and (4) advancement of the public interest. Winter v. N.R.D.C., 129 S. Ct. 365, 374­76 (2008). Here, plaintiff has not alleged an issue appropriate for resolution by a temporary injunction, nor has he met a single element of the Winter test. Specifically, plaintiff has failed to allege a likelihood of success on the merits of his claims; present evidence of irreparable injury; indicate how a balance of hardships weighs in his favor; and, finally, show how such relief is in the public interest. ... ... ...
