| 44 | ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on 6/12/2026. For the reasons above, the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction (Doc. 34 ) is GRANTED, and the motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 29 ) is DENIED:(1) The Court cannot conceive of any allegations that Joslin could assert in a future complaint that might permit them to avoid the CSRA's preclusive effects. See Saul, 928 F.2d at 843. The motion to dismiss Joslin's employment-related claims and requests for relief is granted without leave to amend, but also without prejudice to any future litigation in an appropriate venue. See Hamptom v. Pac. Inv. Mgmt. Co. LLC, 869 F.3d 844, 846 (9th Cir. 2017).(2) The Court cannot exclude the possibility that Joslin could make additional allegations to show that the Court has jurisdiction over their claims about a potential criminal prosecution or under the Privacy Act. The government's motion to dismiss these portions of the complaint is therefore granted with leave to amend. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Any second amended complaint must be filed within thirty days.(3) Because the Court has dismissed the complaint, Joslin cannot show they are likely to succeed on the merits of the claims within it, nor that their claims raise serious questions on the merits. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore denied. See Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008); All. for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1135 (9th Cir. 2011).
