Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- inviting defendants to seek modification of injunction from district court if they desired to engage in legal conduct that would otherwise violate the order
- “It is not appropriate for this court to overturn an injunction on the basis of a defense that the district court had no opportunity to consider.”
- defendant had demonstrated tendency for unlawful conduct and for violating court’s orders, which warranted a broadly-worded order
- “district court has the discretion to issue a broad injunction” where “a proclivity for unlawful conduct has been shown”
- where res judicata applies, the doctrine “reaches both claims that were actually asserted in an earlier lawsuit and those that could have been asserted but were not”
- appropriate scope of injunction is left to district court’s sound discretion
