1 11cv1221 BTM(CAB)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TARANEH L. KHONSARI,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 11cv1221 BTM(CAB)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION;

SETTING HEARING AND BRIEFING

SCHEDULE ON MOTION FOR

EXEMPTION

v.

SECRETARY OF LABOR, HILDA

SOLIS,

Defendant.

On June 3, 2011, Plaintiff commenced this action by filing a motion for an exemption

from the statutory bar to union employment set forth in 29 U.S.C. § 504(a). On June 21,

2011, the Court received a motion for preliminary injunction from Plaintiff. Upon review of

the motion, it is apparent that Plaintiff seeks the ultimate relief of exemption from the

statutory bar, not injunctive relief. The case upon which Plaintiff relies, Claudio v. United

States Dept. of Labor, 137 F. Supp. 2d 405 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 5, 2001), is distinguishable. In

that case, the plaintiff was already working for the union, and the union sought to preliminarily

enjoin enforcement of the bar to allow plaintiff to continue working for the union until the

Court reached a final decision. Here, Plaintiff does not already work for the union, but,

rather, wishes to be considered for employment by the union. Because injunctive relief is not

the proper form of relief here, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction.

The Court sets a hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for an exemption for August 2, 2011

at 3:30 p.m. The Secretary of Labor and any other official copied on this Order may file a

response to Plaintiff’s motion on or before July 18, 2011. Plaintiff may file a reply on or
