MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
NAOMI REICE BUCHWALD UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
"A party seeking a preliminary injunction must establish (1) irreparable harm and (2) either (a) a likelihood of success on the merits, or (b) sufficiently serious questions going to the merits of its claims to make them fair ground for litigation, plus a balance of the hardships tipping decidedly in favor of the moving party. The moving party must also show that a preliminary injunction is in the public interest." Really Good Stuff, LLC v. BAP Invs., L.C., 813 Fed.Appx. 39, 42-43 (2d Cir. 2020) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Moreover, a movant seeking a mandatory injunction that alters the status quo "must meet a heightened legal standard by showing a clear or substantial likelihood of success on the merits." N. Am. Soccer League, LLC v. U.S. Soccer Fed'n, Inc., 883 F.3d 32, 37 (2d Cir. 2018) .
Having reviewed the parties' submissions, we conclude that defendant has not made any of the required showings. Accordingly, defendant's preliminary injunction requests set forth in subsections (1) and (m) of defendant's notice of motion [ECF No. 94] are denied.
SO ORDERED.
