Rule 8(a)(1)(C),(2) of the F ederal Rules of Appellate Procedure authorize this court to grant an injunction pending appeal in our discretion. Similar to a motion to stay a judgment or injunction pending appeal, which is authorized under the same rule, our determination is governed by four factors, the first two of which are the most critical: (1) whether the stay applicant had made a strong showing that he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) whether the applicant will be irreparably injured absent a stay; (3) whether issuance of the stay will sub~ stantially injure the other parties interested in the pro- ceeding; and (4) where the public interest liest Hilton u. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987). Upon consideration thereof lT IS ORDERED THATf (1) The motion for an injunction is denied. (2) The motion to dismiss the motion for an injunc- tion is denied. (3) The case will be placed on the next available oral argument calendar after the briefing is completed, which is the usual course FoR THE CoURT HAY 25 2011 /s/ J an Horbaly Date J an Horbaly Clerk FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEM.S FOR THE FEDERAL CIRGUfT MAY 25 2011 1AnuoPaALY tim 3 CC' S ACROW CORP OF AMERICA V.
