United States First Circuit

In plaintiffs' reach-and-apply action to freeze pendente lite certain funds in the hands of third-parties, due to one or more of other defendants who owe money judgments to the plaintiffs in an underlying lawsuit, district court's grant of preliminary injunction in favor of the plaintiffs is affirmed as the likelihood of success finding by the district court is more than adequately supported, and the district court made a more than adequate assessment on affidavits that defendant likely is an alter ego of the defendants in the underlying suit.
