Court Lets Vineyard Wind Move Forward, Reversing Trump Halt

A federal judge in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction allowing the Vineyard Wind offshore wind project to resume construction after ruling the Trump administration’s halt based on national security concerns was inadequately justified; the project is 95% complete and expected to power over 400,000 Massachusetts homes, with the ruling part of a broader trend permitting other offshore wind projects to resume.

NASCAR Teams' Charter Requests Denied in Antitrust Case

A U.S. District Judge denied a preliminary injunction sought by 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, which would have allowed them to compete in 2025 without affecting their antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR. The teams plan to appeal the decision, arguing for a fairer system in NASCAR. The judge ruled that the potential harms cited by the teams were speculative and not immediate, thus not warranting an injunction. The case will proceed on an expedited schedule, with a responsive pleading due by December 2024.

"NCAA Halts NIL Investigations Amid Tennessee Controversy"

The NCAA has decided to pause all investigations related to name, image, and likeness benefits for athletes following a preliminary injunction order suspending NIL rules from the Tennessee and Virginia attorneys general's antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA. This decision comes after the NCAA targeted the University of Tennessee in its investigations, prompting the Tennessee attorney general to sue. The NCAA will not penalize conduct consistent with the injunction while it is in place, and foundational NIL policies, such as the prohibition on pay-for-play and direct institutional payment for NIL, will still be enforced.

"NCAA Halts NIL Investigations Amid Legal Challenges and Shifting Landscape in College Sports"

NCAA President Charlie Baker has issued updated guidance to schools following a preliminary injunction halting the NCAA's power to prohibit recruits and transfer portal athletes from negotiating their NIL. All NCAA investigations involving third-party NIL collectives have been paused, and the prohibition of pay-for-play, institutional payments, and quid-pro-quo requirements remains in place. The ruling allows booster-funded NIL collectives to communicate with high school recruits and transfer portal players, and the NCAA is working on additional improvements to resolve issues with student-athletes.

Judge Blocks California Law Banning Guns in Public

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a California law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public spaces, just over a week before it was set to take effect. The judge stated that the law's coverage is "repugnant to the Second Amendment" and "openly defiant of the Supreme Court." The law was part of California Democrats' efforts to implement gun restrictions following mass shootings. Governor Gavin Newsom expressed disappointment with the ruling and vowed to continue fighting for stricter gun measures. The decision is seen as a victory for the California Rifle and Pistol Association, which had sued to block the law.

Judge Temporarily Halts Enforcement of Portland's Daytime Camping Ban

A Multnomah County Circuit Court judge has granted a preliminary injunction to halt the enforcement of Portland's daytime camping ban, which was set to go into effect on November 13. The injunction was filed by attorneys representing five unhoused individuals and will remain in effect until the lawsuit against the ban concludes. The ban, adopted by the Portland City Council in June, would prohibit camping on public property between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and impose new restrictions on where people can rest during other hours. The plaintiffs argue that the ban would cause irreparable harm to unhoused individuals and violate the Oregon Constitution. The city maintains that the ban is necessary to address the homelessness crisis and ensure the use of public space for everyone.

"Oregon State and Washington State Seek Control of Pac-12 Board in Legal Battle"

Oregon State and Washington State have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to gain control of the Pac-12 Board, arguing that schools delivering a notice of withdrawal automatically lose their Board seats. The two schools cite evidence obtained through discovery that supports their claim. They believe that all 10 outgoing members should not be Board members and that governance responsibilities should be handed over to the two remaining members. The University of Washington has also filed a motion to join the case as a defendant to defend the interests of the outgoing schools.

Montana Judge Halts Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth

A Montana judge has temporarily blocked a law that would ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, ruling that it is likely unconstitutional and would harm the mental and physical health of affected individuals. The preliminary injunction will remain in effect until a full trial can be held, but the judge expects his decision to be appealed to the Montana Supreme Court. Montana is one of 22 states facing lawsuits over similar bans, with some laws temporarily blocked and others allowed to take effect. The banned procedures, such as puberty blockers and surgical treatments, are considered standard care by major medical organizations.

Indiana Supreme Court Upholds Controversial Abortion Ban, Denies Rehearing and Appeals

The Indiana Supreme Court has denied a request for a rehearing of the abortion ban preliminary injunction, certifying their June decision that the near-total abortion ban signed in August 2022 does not violate the state's constitution. The court's decision, with a 4-1 vote, overturns the preliminary injunction that blocked the ban. The ACLU of Indiana had requested the rehearing, arguing that the right to abortion is protected under the state constitution. The ban, known as Senate Bill 1, prohibits most abortions in the state, with exceptions for cases of serious health risks to the pregnant woman, lethal fetal anomalies, and pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. The decision has immediate effect, and the ACLU of Indiana plans to continue fighting in court to clarify and expand upon the exceptions.

"Justice Department Seeks Pause on Biden Administration's Social Media Contacts Amidst Court Order"

The Justice Department has requested a federal court to pause its order that limits the Biden administration's communication with social media companies while it appeals the decision. The preliminary injunction, issued by U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, blocks several top Biden administration officials from engaging in communications aimed at pressuring or inducing the removal of content containing protected free speech. The injunction stems from a lawsuit filed by Republican attorneys general, alleging collusion between senior government officials and social media companies to suppress viewpoints and content, violating the First Amendment. The Justice Department argues that the order is too broad and causes confusion regarding who is temporarily barred from working with social media companies.
