Matrix Semiconductor, Inc. v. LSI Logic Corp.
Docket: No. 05-16311; D.C. No. CV-05-00920-SBA
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; November 15, 2005; Federal Appellate Court
Jurisdiction for the appeal of the preliminary injunction is established under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), with the Ninth Circuit affirming the district court’s decision. The review of a preliminary injunction is limited, focusing on whether the district court abused its discretion, which occurs only with an erroneous legal standard or clearly erroneous factual findings. The court concluded that there was no abuse of discretion by the district court in denying the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction. The ruling will only affect the parties' rights until the district court issues a final judgment. Additionally, the appellee’s request for judicial notice was granted. The decision is affirmed and is not suitable for publication or citation in this circuit, as per Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
