while Attachment May Analysis In deciding whether to issue a preliminary injunction, a trial court weighs two interrelated factors: the likelihood the moving party ultimately will prevail on the merits, and the relative interim harm to the parties from the issuance or nonissuance of the injunction. Generally, the ruling on an application for a preliminary injunction rests in the sound discretion of the trial court. The exercise of that discretion will not be disturbed on appeal absent a showing that it has been abused. A trial court may not grant a preliminary injunction, regardless of the balance of interim harm, unless there is some possibility that the plaintiff would ultimately prevail on the merits of the claim. (Hunt v. Superior Court (199921 Cal.4th 984, 999-1000 Plaintiffs contend that they have a strong possibility of prevailing on the merits, and that the balance of the harms weighs significantly in their favor. Plaintiffs offer evidence in support of their position. In response, Defendant offers evidence that Plaintiffs will not, in fact prevail, and that they too would suffer potential harm if the injunction were granted. Plaintiffs first Cause of Action to quiet title is based on the argument that they have acquired an easement by prescription, through adverse possession, that permits them to use the driveway. Easement By Prescription To establish the elements of a prescriptive easement, the claimant must prove use of the property, for the statutory period of five years, which use has been (1 open and notorious; (2 continuous and uninterrupted; (3 hostile to the true owner; and (4 under claim of right. (Harrison v. Welch (2004 116 Cal.App.4 46 Cal.App.4th 1296, 1305 th 1084, 1090 (quoting Mehdizadeh v. Mincer (1996 Plaintiffs allege that they have personally been openly using the driveway continuously since 2004. (Complaint j 12-13, 16 They also allege that the driveway was openly used by their predecessor-in-interest continuously from 1984 until 2004. (Complaint 13 This establishes the first and second elements. Defendant does not really dispute that Plaintiffs have been using the driveway openly and continuously. Instead, Defendant argues that Plaintiffs are unable to establish the third element, because Plaintiffs use was premised on a lease rather than a claim of right. The evidence with regard to whether Plaintiffs use of the driveway was hostile or permissive is not clear-cut. None of the documents provide a decisive answer, given that they are legal descriptions that would not mention an easement by prescription. The lease is likewise not decisive, as it does not include a more precise description of the land the parties intended to the south east 5,000 feet could include the driveway, it could as easily not. include Balancing of the Harms Defendants concerns are more persuasive. Defendant has expended a significant amount of money to build the fence and, if the Court grants the injunction, Defendant will have to pay to tear the fence down. If Defendant ultimately prevails, it would have to rebuild the fence at yet NC057268 Page 2 of3 22, 2012

foundation, vague, legal Attachment more expense. If Defendant prevails and Plaintiffs have been permitted to use the land, Defendant will be out the rental income for that land. Defendant s concerns regarding liability are legitimate, particularly in light of the nature of Plaintiffs business. A preliminary mandatory injunction is rarely granted, and is subject to stricter review on appeal. The granting of a mandatory injunction pending trial is not permitted except in extreme cases where the right thereto is clearly established. (Shoemaker v.
