Text: The district court seems to have misconceived Camp Creek's claim for an injunction pursuant to Georgia law, see O.C.G.A. § 9-5-1, as a demand for a preliminary injunction. Consequently, regardless of whether the district court's observation that Fed.R.Civ.P. 65 precludes Camp Creek's application for an injunction under state law is correct,29 the district court erred by 29 We note that the district court's conclusion in this regard is unsupported by citation, but decline to address the matter further. 31 applying the standards governing temporary injunctions. In view of the fact that Camp Creek's petition is for a permanent injunction, to be decided at the conclusion of a trial on the merits, the district court's reliance on plaintiff's likelihood of success on the merits is misplaced. We therefore reverse the district court's grant of summary judgment in Sheraton's favor on this issue. 3. Attorney's Fees, Punitive Damages, and Discovery Matters (Count XI) The district court's resolution of Camp Creek's claims for attorneys' fees, punitive damages, and its motion to compel discovery depend, at least to some degree, on the conclusion that Sheraton was entitled to summary judgment on all of Camp Creek's substantive claims. Our determination that Camp Creek has set forth evidence sufficient to present to a jury on its contract and GTSA claims requires us to vacate the district court's denial of these prayers for relief and remand for reconsideration of Count XI in light of our opinion.
