“In the absence of New Mexico authority concerning the factors a trial court must consider in ruling on a motion for a preliminary injunction, [state trial courts] turn to federal cases interpreting Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, which is similar to SCRA 1986, 1-066.” (LaBalbo v. Hymes (1993) 115 N.M. 314, 317-18 citing State v. Clements (1988) 108 N.M. 13 [basis for consulting judicial interpretations of federal rule].)
To obtain a preliminary injunction, a plaintiff must show that:
(LaBalbo v. Hymes (1993) 115 N.M. 314, 318 quoting Tri-State v. Shoshone River Power, Inc. (1986) 805 F.2d 351 [10th Cir.].)
“We review the trial court's decision regarding whether to grant injunctive relief for abuse of discretion.” Padilla v. Lawrence (1984) 101 N.M. 556.)
“The trial court may abuse its discretion by:
(LaBalbo v. Hymes (1993) 115 N.M. 314, 318 citing 2 J. Moore, J. Lucas, K. Sinclair, Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 65.04[2] [2d ed. 1990].)
“However, if a plaintiff failed to establish one of the required factors, the reviewing court should affirm denial of the injunction.” (LaBalbo v. Hymes (1993) 115 N.M. 314, 318 citing Libertarian Party of Texas v. Fainter (1984) 741 F.2d 728 [5th Cir.].)
“A preliminary injunction does not determine the merits of the case, nor does it determine controverted facts.” (Insure New Mexico v. McGonigle (2000) 128 N.M. 611, 614 citing 43 C.J.S. Injunctions § 5, at 745-46 [1978].)
“The trial court may reconsider the facts upon which the preliminary decree was issued in deciding whether to issue a permanent injunction.” (Insure New Mexico v. McGonigle (2000) 128 N.M. 611, 614 citing Economy Roofing Insulating Co. v. Zumaris (1995) 538 N.W.2d 641, 648 [Iowa] [holding that denial of a preliminary injunction does not foreclose a trial on the merits for a permanent injunction].)
