Description
Expedited interlocutory appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (George B. Daniels, Judge) denying plaintiff's motion for an order preliminarily enjoining defendants from refusing to provide insurance coverage for a particular medical treatment. We hold, inter alia, (1) that a district court's decision to grant or deny a preliminary injunction is generally reviewed for abuse of discretion, and there is no exception to this rule for a case in which the district court has heard no live testimony; and (2) that the District Court, which heard no live testimony, did not abuse its discretion in denying plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunctive relief because plaintiff had not shown-at least on the record as it currently stands-that there was either a likelihood that he would succeed on the merits of any of his claims, or that there were sufficiently serious questions as to the merits of his claims so that they are fair grounds for litigation.
