Part 3/6:
Despite the AP’s appeals, the presiding judge, Trevor McFadden, found the organization did not meet the criteria necessary for a TRO. The court assessed the four essential factors typically examined in such motions: likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balancing of equities, and public interest.
The conclusion drawn by the court was unequivocal; the AP failed to demonstrate the requisite showing necessary for relief. The judge’s succinct ruling noted that the AP had not effectively argued their case for immediate reinstatement.
