Seventh Circuit: Stephen Cassell v. David Snyders

 

Equitable factors counsel against granting a preliminary injunction when the religious practice or meeting size is not currently the subject of regulation with a live threat of enforcement.

Courts must consider the fine-grained details of a public health order's restrictions on the practice of religion when considering injunctions.

Appeal of denial of preliminary injunction requested on substantive grounds cannot be converted to a procedural due process claim.

State RFRA and other state law claims possibly precluded by 11A bar on injunction against state officials, mootness against particular parties, and possibly arise outside supplemental federal jurisdiction.
