Jean-Paul v. City of Milwaukee et al Doc. 37 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN PERRAULT JEAN-PAUL, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 13-C-1445 CITY OF MILWAUKEE, et al., Defendants. DECISION AND ORDER Perrault Jean-Paul, proceeding pro se, has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the City of Milwaukee. The plaintiff seeks to enjoin the city from proceeding with an action it is prosecuting against the plaintiff in state court to collect approximately $15,000 in unpaid taxes and fines. In order to obtain a preliminary injunction, a plaintiff must show, among other things, that he will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted. See, e.g., Girl Scouts of Manitou Council, Inc. v. Girl Scouts of U.S. of Am., Inc., 549 F.3d 1079, 1086 (7th Cir. 2008). Here, the plaintiff has not shown that he will suffer irreparable harm if an injunction is not granted. Therefore, his motion will be denied. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff s motion for a preliminary injunction is DENIED. Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 17th day of October 2014. s/ Lynn Adelman __________________________________ LYNN ADELMAN District Judge Dockets.Justia.com
