United States Ninth Circuit


Solidus Networks, Inc. v. Excel Innovations, Inc., 06-17288

When a bankruptcy debtor applies for a 11 U.S.C. section 105(a) preliminary injunction to stay a proceeding in which the debtor is not a party, the bankruptcy court must balance the debtor's likelihood of success in reorganization against the relative hardship of the parties, as well as consider the public interest if warranted.
