Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Alikhan's preliminary injunction which requires Sara Aviel be kept at president of the Inter-American Foundation, prevent Peter Marocco from serving on the IAF board, and voids actions taken by Marocco during his time on the board.


The Application

History

Judge Alikhan found that Aviel demonstrated a likelihood of success on her claims regarding the lawfulness of her removal, faced irreparable harm from displacement, and that maintaining her position while voiding Marocco's actions and preventing his board service balanced the equities in favor of the injunction and served the public interest.

The Conclusion

The preliminary injunction was upheld, requiring Sara Aviel remain as president of the Inter-American Foundation, preventing Peter Marocco from serving on the IAF board, and voiding his prior actions.
