In Edmonds v. D2IQ Inc., Judge Chhabria denied Edmonds’s post-merger injunction motion because he did not satisfy the Winter factors.
Mark Edmonds’s request for a post-merger injunction was denied; Nutanix prevailed on the likelihood-of-success issue discussed in the order. The order also set an initial case management conference.
What happened
In Edmonds v. D2IQ Inc., Mark Edmonds asked the court for an injunction after a merger-related event. The opinion does not provide further details about his underlying claims.
The court denied the motion because Edmonds did not show that he was entitled to relief under the factors governing injunctions. In particular, the court found he had not shown that he was likely to succeed against Nutanix, based on Nutanix’s evidence that it did not merge with “D21Q,” as written in the opinion.
Judge Vince Chhabria also set an initial case management conference for March 14, 2024, by Zoom. The order does not explain the relationship between that conference date and the order’s February 25, 2025 date.
