DEFENDANT

ORDER
Manley's motion for a temporary restraining order, N2 3, is noted. First,
the Court has doubts about its subject matter jurisdiction. Manley should file
a brief addressing that point by 27 April 2015. Second, there does not appear
to be any imminent irreparable harm in prospect. The federal estate taxes, for
example, aren't due until 22 May 2015. The Court therefore declines to act
until subject matter jurisdiction can be addressed. DeVazier must file an
expedited response to the motion for injunctive relief, and address
jurisdiction, by 30 April 2015.

Because DeVazier hasn't answered or

otherwise appeared, the Court orders Manley to send DeVazier' s lawyer a
copy of this Order today by email, facsimile, and U.S. mail. Manley shall file

proof of service by tomorrow, 24 April 2015.
So Ordered.

D .P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
