Description
The principal question presented by this appeal is whether § 706(f)(2) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f) (2), which authorizes the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "the Commission") to sue for temporary injunctive relief when a charge has been filed with the Commission and "the Commission concludes on the basis of a preliminary investigation that prompt judicial action is necessary to carry out the purposes of the Act," permits the issuance of a preliminary injunction without the traditional showing of irreparable injury. The Commission brought this action requesting a preliminary injunction requiring the appellee, Anchor Hocking Corporation, to reinstate the intervenor, Earl Murry, to the position from which he had been discharged, allegedly in retaliation for his participation in proceedings before the EEOC and opposition to practices made unlawful by Title VII. The district court held that § 706(f)(2) required a showing of irreparable harm and that the Commission and Murry had failed to make such a showing. The EEOC and Murry appealed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We agree with the district court and therefore affirm.
