Thomas L. White, Jr., as Comptroller of the State of Alabama v. Karen John

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Montgomery Circuit Court’s preliminary injunction and remanded for further proceedings, holding that the injunction was not justified because the plaintiffs failed to show irreparable harm and that the order would not benefit them; the Court also dismissed the claim against the non‑existent "Office of the State Comptroller." The Court noted that the guidelines at issue are not a "rule" under the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act.
