UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHILIPPE CHARRIOL

RULING REGARDING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

vs.

A’LOR INTERNATIONAL

LIMITED, and DOES 1 through 10,

Defendants.

Presently before the Court, and set for hearing on March 14, 2014, is Plaintiff

Philippe Charriol International Limited’s motion for preliminary injunction. [Doc.

No. 8.] Having considered the submission of the parties, and in anticipation of the

upcoming hearing, the Court tentatively DENIES Plaintiff’s motion.

adequately demonstrated irreparable harm, as its grievances are primarily contractual

in nature, and the fact that adequate compensatory relief will ultimately be available

in the ordinary course of litigation weighs heavily against a claim of “irreparable

harm.” Sampson v. Murray, 415 U.S. 61, 90 (1974).

The parties are advised that this ruling is tentative and the Court will entertain

additional argument at the hearing on March 14, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
