Supreme Court of the United States
Besinek v. Lamone
June 18, 2018585 U.S. 155
Summary
The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of a preliminary injunction challenging Maryland’s 2011 congressional map, finding no abuse of discretion. The Court held that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate the requisite likelihood of success, irreparable harm, and favorable balance of equities, and that the public interest favored denying relief, especially given the pending Gill decision.
Holding
- Did the district court abuse its discretion in denying the preliminary injunction?. No; the district court’s denial was within its sound discretion and not an abuse.
