  A single justice of the Appeals Court denied all her requested relief, finding no legal error or abuse of discretion by the Housing Court and no likelihood of success on appeal.

  Court's wording · echoed in 26H82CV00012Notice of Docket Entry from Appeals Court Copy of 2026-J-0275 ORDER: The petitioner, the defendant in this civil matter, has filed a petition seeking relief from a preliminary injunction entered on March 17, 2026 enjoining the petitioner from residing at the subject premises. The petitioner seeks relief pursuant to both G. L. c. 231, s. 118, first par., and Rule 6 of the Massachusetts Rules of Appellate Procedure. The petitioner has filed a notice of appeal from the same order under G. L. c. 231, s. 118, second par. That appeal has been assembled and is pending in this court as 2026-P-0420. A request for a preliminary injunction is addressed to the discretion of the trial judge, and a single justice will not interfere with the exercise of that discretion in the absence of a clear error of law or abuse of discretion. See Jet-Line Services, Inc. v. Board of Selectmen of Stoughton, 25 Mass. App. Ct. 645, 646 (1988). The petition and the materials submitted in support of it do not demonstrate that the Housing Court judge applied a legally incorrect standard or abused his discretion in denying the requested injunction. Likewise, a stay of the March 17, 2026, injunction is not warranted as the petitioner has not demonstrated a likelihood of success on appeal. See Property Acquisition Group, LLC v. Ivester, 95 Mass. App. Ct. 170, 180 (2019). Accordingly, all requested relief is denied. A copy of this order shall also be reflected on the docket in 2026-P-0420. So ordered. (Hershfang, J.)
