Barrett, IV, et al v. Claycomb, et al, No. 12-1001 (8th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseIn this interlocutory appeal, defendants appealed from the district court's grant of a preliminary injunction, which halted a mandatory drug-testing policy implemented by Linn State. In evaluating the probability of plaintiffs' success on the merits, the court concluded that the district court erred in ignoring the substantial obstacles this facial challenge presented for plaintiffs and therefore abused its discretion in issuing such a broad injunction. Because plaintiffs have failed to show a fair chance of prevailing on their facial challenge, the court vacated the preliminary injunction.
Court Description: Civil case - Injunctions.
