(Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Monday rejected a Justice Department request that it allow the government to immediately ban Apple Inc
The three-judge panel for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said in a brief order the government had not demonstrated it would “suffer an imminent, irreparable injury during the pendency of this appeal, which is being expedited.”
