Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Joun's temporary restraining order which requires the Department of Education to make available grants that they had attempted to terminate.


The Application

History

California sought to prevent the Department of Education from terminating federal grants available to the state. Judge Joun found California satisfied the prerequisites for injunctive relief and issued a TRO requiring the Department to continue making the grants available. The government appealed, challenging the order's validity.

The Conclusion

The First Appellate District decided the appeal, determining whether Judge Joun properly applied the standards for temporary restraining orders and whether the injunction requiring grant availability should be maintained or reversed.
