Kaos Productions, Inc. v. Small Business Administration

Case summary

Kaos Productions, Inc., d/b/a Spin Nightclub, a San Diego live music venue, sued the Small Business Administration and Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman on September 1, 2021 in No. 1:21-cv-02324 (D.D.C., Judge Trevor N. McFadden) over a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant. The complaint (Entry 1) says Spin applied on April 26, 2021 for a grant of $644,547.11, that the SBA denied the application and, on August 22, 2021, its appeal without giving a reason, and in Counts I through III under the Administrative Procedure Act asks the court to order the award plus a supplemental award of $322,273.56. Spin moved for a preliminary injunction on September 15, 2021; on the government's consent motions, a September 20, 2021 minute order remanded the matter to the SBA to review the application and stayed proceedings for 30 days. On November 22, 2021 the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal and a minute order dismissed the case with prejudice. The hosted docket ends with that dismissal.
