In order to obtain a preliminary injunction, the movant must establish: (1) a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) irreparable injury absent the injunction, and (3) a balancing of the equities in the movant's favor. The decision to grant or deny a preliminary injunction lies within the sound discretion of the Supreme Court. Absent unusual or compelling circumstances, appellate courts are reluctant to disturb that determination.
