19 On September 16, 2009, this Court received Plaintiff Charles Edward Lincoln III’s Ex Parte
20 Application for a Temporary Restraining Order in conjunction with a Memorandum of Points and
21 Authorities in Support Thereof.
22 Plaintiff’s request for a TRO without notice to Defendants is hereby DENIED. Plaintiff has
23 not met its burden of showing that immediate and irreparable injury will result to it if notice and an
24 opportunity to be heard is given to the Defendants. The issuance of a temporary restraining order
25 without notice is a very drastic remedy, and the Court will not issue a temporary restraining order
26 without notice unless it is absolutely convinced that a plaintiff will suffer irreparable injury and dire
27 consequences are certain to occur. Plaintiff’s moving papers fall far short of convincing the Court
28 of such injury and consequences.
 Case 8:09-cv-01072-DOC-E Document 5 Filed 09/17/09 Page 2 of 2 Page ID #:60

1 The Court also notes that Plaintiff failed to comply with Local Rule 65-1, which requires all
2 parties seeking temporary restraining orders to file a proposed TRO and a proposed order to show
3 cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue.
