Reasons

• Per Michael D. Bustamante, J. (M. Monica Zamora, J., and J. Miles Hanisee, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals found the district court did not err in dismissing the Plaintiff's lawsuit as frivolous. The Plaintiff failed to demonstrate entitlement to injunctive relief, specifically not satisfying the "irreparable injury" criteria necessary for such relief. The Court noted that if the Plaintiff were successful in proving wrongful distribution or mismanagement of trust assets, monetary damages could serve as an adequate remedy, negating the need for injunctive relief (para 2).
