District Court, D. Maine September 24, 2007, CV-06-128-B-W (Animal Protection Institute v. Martin)

ORDER ON MOTION IN LIMINE

JOHN A. WOODCOCK, Jr., District Judge.

In a case involving the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Court denies the Animal Protection Institute’s (API) motion

in limine

to exclude as a matter of law the Court’s consideration of the balance of relative hardships from the traditional four-factor analysis for determining whether to issue an injunction.
