“[A] preliminary injunction is an order that is sought by a plaintiff prior to a full adjudication of the merits of its claim.” (White v. Davis (2003) 30 Cal.4th 528, 554.) It requires a person to refrain from a particular act; it may be granted by the court in which the action is brought, or by a judge thereof; and when granted by a judge, it may be enforced as an order of the court. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 525; Comfort v. Comfort, (1941) 17 Cal.2d 736, 741.)
“[A]n order granting or denying a preliminary injunction does not amount to an adjudication of the ultimate rights in controversy. Its purpose is to preserve the status quo until the merits of the action can be determined.” (Socialist Workers etc. Committee v. Brown (1975) 53 Cal.App.3d 879, 890-91.) The status quo has been defined to mean the last actual peaceable, uncontested status which preceded the pending controversy. (14859 Moorpark Homeowner’s Assn. v. VRT Corp. (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 1396. 1402.)
In any action, the court may on notice modify or dissolve an injunction or temporary restraining order upon a showing that there has been a material change in the facts upon which the injunction or temporary restraining order was granted, that the law upon which the injunction or temporary restraining order was granted has changed, or that the ends of justice would be served by the modification or dissolution of the injunction or temporary restraining order. (Code of Civ. Proc., § 533; Luckett v. Panos (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 77, 85.)
The restrained party has the burden of showing by a preponderance of the evidence that one of these circumstances is present and justifies a termination of the injunction. (Loeffler v. Medina (2009) 174 Cal.App.4th 1495, 1504.) The trial court may determine that the changed circumstances alleged by the restrained party are not material and, therefore, do not present a reason for terminating the injunction. (Id. at 1506.)
Ultimately, “granting, denying, dissolving, or refusing to dissolve a permanent or preliminary injunction rests in the sound discretion of the trial court upon a consideration of all the particular circumstances of each individual case.” (Prof'l Engineers v. Dep't of Transp. (1997) 15 Cal.4th 543, 562.) Although the court has broad discretion, it “must exercise its discretion ‘in favor of the party most likely to be injured.’” (Robbins v. Super. Ct. (1985) 38 Cal.3d 199, 205.) The ultimate goal is to minimize the harm which an erroneous interim decision may cause. (American Credit Indemnity Co. v. Sacks (1989) 213 Cal.App.3d 622, 637.)
Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction Provided that the City will stipulate to a preliminary injunction with respect to the provisions of Ordinance No. 6374 relating to immediate warrantless access to the short-term rental (STR) units, the Court DENIES the application for a preliminary injunction in all other respects, WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

The objections are moot based on the Court’s denial of the motion for Final Approval due to the parties’ failure to obtain preliminary approval of the addendum to the settlement.

In addition, the average net recovery by class members is only about $117 (reduced from the $150 estimate at the preliminary approval stage).

Plaintiffs reply that a stay should not be granted because Defendant's September 30, 2020 date is arbitrary, and the only matter on calendar for the parallel criminal trial is a preliminary setting/resetting hearing on August 19, 2020, which provides no guarantee that the criminal trial will resolve by that point. Both parties agree it is within the Court's discretion in these circumstances to decide whether or not to issue a stay or grant the instant motions.

Defendants argue Plaintiff’s request for an injunction preventing them from exercising their right to petition the Court to evict Plaintiff from the property via an unlawful detainer action violates Defendants’ right to petition. Defendants reason their right to petition the Court to evict Plaintiff constitutes petitioning activity and, thus, is protected conduct.

Thus, when comparing the consequences from the issuance of a preliminary injunction to the consequences from not issuing a preliminary injunction, the balance of interim harms favors Plaintiff. (Cu Decl., ¶¶ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 44.)

The court now considers plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction. When determining whether to grant a preliminary injunction, courts evaluate two interrelated factors: the first is the likelihood that the plaintiff will prevail on the merits at trial, and the second is the interim harm that the plaintiff is likely to sustain if the injunction were denied as compared to the harm that defendant is likely to suffer if the preliminary injunction were issued.
