Parker v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc.
Decision Date | 05 August 1963 |
Citation | 320 F.2d 937 |
Parties | Gloria PARKER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC., et al., Defendants-Appellees. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Second Circuit |
Gloria Parker, pro se.
Ralph L. McAfee, of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, New York City, for appellees.
Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, and HAYS and MARSHALL, Circuit Judges.
Plaintiff appeals from so much of the order as we have quoted.
Appellee urges that the order is a temporary restraining order, Fed.R. Civ.P. 65(b), and therefore not appealable. Grant v. United States, 282 F.2d 165 (2d Cir., 1960). We hold that the order is in the nature of a preliminary injunction, and therefore appealable under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a) (1). See Pan American World Airways, Inc. v. Flight Engineers' Int'l Ass'n, 306 F.2d 840, 843 (2d Cir., 1962).
Insofar as the order enjoins appellant from "in any way publishing, disseminating, publicizing or otherwise promulgating to any person or entity all or any portion of the document", we hold that, in view of the nature of the document, the order was properly issued under the inherent "equitable powers of courts of law over their own process, to prevent abuses, oppression, and injustice." Gumbel v. Pitkin, 124 U.S. 131, 144, 8 S.Ct. 379, 383-384, 31 L.Ed. 374 (1888); see, 1 Moore, Federal Practice ¶ 0.606 (2d ed. 1961); cf. Pueblo de Taos v. Archuleta, 64 F.2d 807, 813 (10th Cir., 1933); Rudnicki v. McCormack, 210 F.Supp. 905, 908-912 (D.R.I.1962), appeal dismissed, Rudnicki v. Cox, 372 U.S. 226, 83 S.Ct. 679, 9 L.Ed.2d 714 (19...
