HONEYFUND.COM, INC., et al., Plaintiffs, v. RON DESANTIS, in his official Capacity as Governor of Florida, et al., Defendants., 622 F. Supp. 3d 1159

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-In an employment action, plaintiffs were entitled to a motion for preliminary injunction under U.S. Const. amend. I because they would have suffered irreparable injury, as the Individual Freedom Act inflicted an ongoing First Amendment violation by attacking ideas. Further, the State of Florida had no legitimate interest in enforcing an unconstitutional ordinance; [2]-The district court did not stay the motion for injunction pending appeal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 62 because no exceptional circumstances justified staying the order, and defendants had every right to appeal.
