Plaintiff has not yet served any Defendants, and there is no evidence in the record that she has even attempted to provide them notice of either the instant action or her currently filed Motions. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, "[t]he

Court may issue a preliminary injunction only on notice to the adverse party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(1). "The court may issue

a temporary restraining order without written or oral notice to the adverse party or its attorney only if: (A) specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the movant before the adverse party can be heard in opposition; and (B) the movant's attorney certifies in writing any efforts made to give notice and the reasons why it should not be required." Fed. R.

Civ. P. 64(b); see also Local Rule 65-231(a) ("Except in the most extraordinary of circumstances, no temporary restraining order shall be granted in the absence of actual notice to the affected party and/or counsel, by telephone or other means, or a sufficient showing of efforts made to provide notice."). Plaintiff has not documented any attempts made to provide Defendants with the requisite notice, Plaintiff's instant Motions are DENIED without prejudice. IT IS SO ORDERED.
