In re Excel Innovations, Inc., 502 F.3d 1086 (9th Cir. 2007), cert. denied, 128 S.Ct. 2080 (2008)

Distinguishing Crown Vantage, infra, the court held that “our usual preliminary injunction

standard applies to applications to stay actions against non-debtors under § 105(a). In granting or

denying such an injunction, a bankruptcy court must consider whether the debtor has a reasonable

likelihood of a successful reorganization, the relative hardship of the parties, and any public

interest concerns if relevant.”

conform to the objectives of the bankruptcy code.” The standard for issuing a preliminary

injunction does not apply to injunctions issued under § 105.
