CIVIL ACTION NO.

ORDER
Upon consideration of the plaintiff’s motion for a
temporary

restraining

order

(doc.

no.

62),

it

is

ORDERED that the motion is denied.
***
In so deciding, the court notes that the plaintiff
requests the same relief in his motion for temporary
restraining

order--termination

Prolixin--that

he

is

seeking

of
in

treatment
his

motion

with
for

preliminary injunction (doc. no. 49), which is pending
before the United States Magistrate Judge.

Given the

complex nature of the plaintiff’s claim and the work
the magistrate judge has already put into handling the

motion, it will be most efficient for the magistrate
judge to address the plaintiff’s request for relief in
the first instance.

Further, as the court lacks the

specialized knowledge required to make decisions about
the plaintiff’s medical treatment, it would not be in
the

plaintiff’s

best

interest

(and,

indeed,

would

present a serious risk of being harmful to him) for the
court to grant his request for a temporary restraining
order at this time.
DONE, this the 2nd day of November, 2015.
