  4. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., v. Morton

    337 F. Supp. 167 (D.D.C. 1971)   Cited 33 times

    It should be noted that courts have held that security is not necessary where requiring security would have the effect of denying the plaintiffs their right to judicial review of administrative action. Powelton Civic Home Owners' Ass'n v. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 284 F. Supp. 809, 840 (E.D.Pa. 1968); Tennessee Public Service Comm'n v. United States, 275 F. Supp. 87, 91 (W.D.Tenn. 1967); City of Williamsport v. United States, 273 F. Supp. 899, 904 (M.D.Pa. 1967); Florida East Coast Ry. Co. v. United States, 228 F. Supp. 340, 343 (M.D.Fla. 1964). To require the plaintiffs in the case at bar to post security in the amount requested by the Government to cover the alleged losses would have the effect of denying three nonprofit environmental organizations from obtaining judicial review of the defendant's actions under NEPA. Congress has indicated that private environmental organizations should assist in enforcing NEPA.

  5. Greyhound Lines, Inc. v. United States

    301 F. Supp. 356 (N.D. Ill. 1969)   Cited 1 times

    Several cases have added to this requirement of irreparable harm, a requirement that the movant show that it has a "reasonable possibility" of prevailing on the merits. E.g., Tennessee Public Service Commission v. United States, 275 F. Supp. 87, 90 (W.D.Tenn. 1967). However, without a showing of irreparable harm, no matter how reasonable the possibility that the movant might prevail on the merits, a temporary restraining order should not issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2284(3).

  6. G.B.C., Inc. v. United States

    302 F. Supp. 1283 (E.D. Tenn. 1969)   Cited 6 times

Peck, now a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
