NCO Group, Inc. v. Cook
Docket: No. 00-16856; D.C. No. CV-00-00896-PMP
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; January 10, 2001; Federal Appellate Court
An appeal was made regarding the denial of a preliminary injunction, which was reviewed under Ninth Circuit Rule 3-3, with jurisdiction established under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). The appellate court affirmed the district court's decision, determining that there was no abuse of discretion or reliance on an erroneous legal standard. NCO Group, Inc. failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits or the possibility of irreparable harm, consistent with precedents set in *Ir-5 v. Chandler* and *Sports Form, Inc. v. United Press Int'l, Inc.* The district court's factual findings were upheld as not clearly erroneous. Consequently, the appellate court affirmed the denial of the preliminary injunction, denied NCO's motion for an injunction pending appeal, and rejected its motion to strike. This disposition is not intended for publication and cannot be cited in court except as allowed by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
