A Brazilian judge has blocked the appointment of ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as chief of staff to his successor, Dilma Rousseff.
A federal judge issued an injunction saying there was a risk a federal judicial investigation could be derailed if Lula was a minister.
In Brazil, cabinet members can only be investigated by the Supreme Court, not by federal courts.
Lula is under investigation in connection with a corruption scandal.
The government said it would appeal against the decision.
