The court having presented orally in open court its opinion and decision with respect to plaintiffs motion which said statement of opinion and decision is a part of the official record in this proceeding and, accordingly, is made a part hereof by this reference, and

It appearing to the satisfaction of the court that:

1. No sufficient showing has been made by the plaintiff that failure to grant the modifications sought in its motion will result in immediate irreparable injury to the plaintiff, and

2. The plaintiff has failed to show wherein the modifications sought in its motion are required to preserve the status quo of the within action as maintained by the preliminary injunction previously granted by this court, and

3. The modifications sought by the plaintiff in its present motion and over which this court has jurisdiction, are, in fact, matters constituting the very subject of this action and, accordingly, are properly determined at such time as the within cause of action is tried on the merits.

Now Therefore, it is hereby

Ordered that the motion of the plaintiff for modification of the preliminary injunction granted by this court under date of March 21, 1983, be and is hereby denied.
