“a dearth of law on the availability of expedited discovery to speed relief where compelling need is shown. Nevertheless, in some cases a plaintiff could need expedited discovery to speed relief. In such cases, however, the court must fashion standards for granting leave that protect the defendant. ... Plaintiffs contend that without expedited discovery and the resulting earlier trial they will suffer irreparable damage, which they assert establishes compelling need for expedited discovery. In such circumstances, courts should require the plaintiff to demonstrate (1) irreparable injury, (2) some probability of success on the merits, (3) some connection between the expedited discovery and the avoidance of the irreparable injury, and (4) some evidence that the injury that will result without expedited discovery looms greater than the injury that the defendant will suffer if the expedited relief is granted.”
