Affirmed. See Florida Depโt of Health v. Florigrown, LLC, 317 So. 3d
1101, 1110 (Fla. 2021) (โA temporary injunction is extraordinary relief that
should be granted only when the party seeking the injunction has established
four elements: (1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, (2) the
unavailability of an adequate remedy at law, (3) irreparable harm absent
entry of an injunction, and (4) that the injunction would serve the public
interest.โ); Telemundo Media, LLC v. Mintz, 194 So. 3d 434, 435โ36 (Fla. 3d
DCA 2016) (โThe party seeking an injunction must satisfy each element with
competent, substantial evidence.โ); City of Jacksonville v. Naegele Outdoor
Advert. Co., 634 So. 2d 750, 753 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994) (โA substantial
likelihood of success on the merits is shown if good reasons for anticipating
that result are demonstrated. It is not enough that a merely colorable claim
is advanced.โ).
