2 Order of the Court 25-12625

Henri Beaulieu appeals from the district court’s July 18, 2025 order denying his motions for injunctive relief, which the court viewed as seeking a temporary restraining order (“TRO”). On ap- peal, a jurisdictional question asked the parties to address our juris- diction to review that order. Beaulieu responds that we have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) to review the district court’s July 18 order because, in substance, that order denied or failed to address multiple requests seeking an injunction to stop ongoing irreparable harm. The ap- pellees respond that the July 18 order may be appealable under § 1292(a)(1) but contend that we should dismiss the appeal and re- mand for factual development. We construe the appellees’ re- sponses as motions to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Upon review of Beaulieu’s motions that the district court de- nied in its July 18 order, we conclude that the order refused an in- junction and not merely a TRO. See 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1); AT&T Broadband v. Tech Commc’ns, Inc., 381 F.3d 1309, 1314 (11th Cir. 2004). We thus have jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, we DENY the appellees’ construed motions to dismiss.
