Shuttlesworth v. Connor

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit
Jun 12, 1961
291 F.2d 217 (5th Cir. 1961)

Opinion

No. 18838.

June 12, 1961.

Leonard W. Holt, Norfolk, Va., for appellant.

J.M. Breckenridge, James A. Simpson, Birmingham, Ala., Lange, Simpson, Robinson Somerville, by Henry E. Simpson, Birmingham, Ala., of counsel, for appellee.

Before JONES and BROWN, Circuit Judges, and De VANE, District Judge.


The district court entered an order denying an application for a temporary injunction. The plaintiffs have appealed from the order. Whether or not a temporary injunction is to be granted rests largely within the discretion of the district courts. It is not generally regarded as a matter of right. Yakus v. United States, 321 U.S. 414, 64 S.Ct. 660, 88 L.Ed. 834; Home Decorators, Inc. v. Herfort, 5 Cir., 1950, 179 F.2d 398; Central Hanover Bank Trust Co. v. Callaway, 5 Cir., 1943, 135 F.2d 592. It does not appear that there has been any abuse of discretion and the order of the district court is

Affirmed.
