Mealey's (May 31, 2018, 2:37 PM EDT) -- CLEVELAND — A federal judge in Ohio on May 29 adopted a magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny a fast-pitch softball league from obtaining a preliminary injunction against a franchise owner for violating the terms of a noncompete agreement (NCA), finding that the league did not sufficiently allege that it is likely to succeed on its claims against the franchisee and that it has not suffered an irreparable injury as a result of the alleged violation (NPF Franchising LLC v. SY Dawgs LLC, et al., No. 18 CV 277, N.D. Ohio, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 89409)....
