A case of defamation and the United States District Court issued a preliminary injunction favoring the plaintiff. The ruling was appealed to the Appellate Court where they ruled in favor of the Defendant saying, "The district court abused its discretion in issuing the preliminary injunction."
I know this is a vague post, but wanted to ask if this "Abuse of Discretion" ruling from the Appellate Court to the District Court is normal verbiage or if it is a severe reprimand against the Federal District Court Judge?
Thanks,
