IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EL DORADO DIVISION

H & R BLOCK EASTERN TAX SERVICES PLAINTIFFS

and HRB ROYALTY, INC.

VS. Case No. 04-CV-1036

CLAY B. STEELE, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Before the Court is Separate Defendant Clay B. Steele’s Motion to Terminate Preliminary 

Injunction. (Doc. 49). The other parties have not filed a timely response, and the Court finds

this motion ripe for consideration. On December 21, 2004, this Court entered a preliminary

injunction enjoining Separate Defendant Clay B. Steele from competing with Plaintiffs within

fifty (50) miles of El Dorado, Arkansas, in violation of Paragraph 14 of the Satellite Franchise

Agreement. By its terms the two-year non-compete period of the Satellite Franchise Agreement

expired on June 30, 2005. 

 The Court finds that the motion to terminate should be and hereby is granted, and the

preliminary injunction enjoining Separate Defendant Clay B. Steele from competing with

Plaintiffs within fifty (50) miles of El Dorado, Arkansas, in violation of Paragraph 14 of the

Satellite Franchise Agreement should be and hereby is vacated and dissolved.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of November, 2005.
