ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

Before the Court would grant the sweeping injunctive relief that is sought in plaintiff's application for a temporary restraining order, the Court would certainly want to give both sides an opportunity to be heard. Therefore, the request for a temporary restraining order is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE to plaintiff filing a properly noticed motion for a preliminary injunction. This would give defendants a fair opportunity to be heard. The motion for a preliminary injunction, if filed, will be heard on a normal 35-day track. Meanwhile, plaintiff must properly serve (and file proof of service of) the complaint, application for a temporary restraining order, and a copy of this order on defendants by FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 9, 2010.

WILLIAM ALSUP UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
