Rule 1.1503 Endorsing refusal

If a judge decides not to grant a temporary injunction, the judge has to write that refusal directly on the request (called a petition) that asked for it. This applies whether it's a regular judge or a justice on the Iowa Supreme Court.

This creates a clear, permanent record showing the request was denied. It also shows when and how the decision was made, right on the original document. This matters because it prevents confusion later about whether the injunction was granted or refused, and it keeps the case history accurate for anyone who looks at the file afterward.
