The Application
History
Judge Kollar-Kotelly granted a preliminary injunction, finding the plaintiff demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits that the government lacked statutory authority for the proposed disclosure and that the plaintiff would suffer irreparable harm from release of sensitive tax information.
The Conclusion
The government has appealed to the D.C. Circuit; the preliminary injunction blocking disclosure remains in effect pending appellate resolution.
