Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Alsup's preliminary injunction requiring 6 executive agencies to reinstate illegally fired probationary employees.


The Application

History

Judge Alsup determined the agencies' terminations violated procedural requirements and granted a preliminary injunction mandating reinstatement of the affected probationary employees. The government appealed, contesting both the underlying legal violation and the appropriateness of injunctive relief.

The Conclusion

The preliminary injunction remains in effect during the appeal; the Ninth Circuit is reviewing the government's challenge to both the merits and the equitable relief determination.
