Facts

Sain Communications Inc. ("Sain"), one of the producers of the film "2016: Obama's America" filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against co-producer Dinesh D'Souza. Sain alleged that D'Souza seized control of the film's production company, breached the operating agreement, engaged in self-dealing and mismanagement, and attempted to force Sain out of the company. D'Souza previously filed a claim in arbitration.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS:
Sain sought a temporary restraining order preventing D'Souza from unilaterally managing the production company and further breaching of the company's operating agreement.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
D'Souza opposed the motion, arguing that the dispute was subject to arbitration, Sain failed to show irreparable injury, and Sain failed to join an indispensable party, Veterans Gateway, Inc., the film's third producer, to the action.

Result

The Court denied the motion. The parties voluntarily submitted the dispute to arbitration following the Court's ruling.
