F. L. Shuttlesworth and Charles Billups v. Eugene Bull Connor, Commissioner of Public Safety, Birmingham, Alabama
291 F.2d 217; 1961 U.S. App. LEXIS 4237
(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
F. L. Shuttlesworth and Charles Billups v. Eugene Bull Connor, Commissioner of Public Safety, Birmingham, Alabama
Opinion
The district court entered an order denying an application for a temporary injunction. The plaintiffs have appealed from the order. Whether or not a temporary injunction is to be granted rests largely within the discretion of the district courts. It is not generally regarded as a matter of right. Yakus v. United States, 321 U.S. 414, 64 S.Ct. 660, 88 L.Ed. 834; Home Decorators, Inc. v. Herfort, 5 Cir., 1950, 179 F.2d 398; Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co. v. Callaway, 5 Cir., 1943, 135 F.2d 592. It does not appear that there has been any abuse of discretion and the order of the district court is
Affirmed.
