CASE NO. 11cv371 BEN (WMC)
Plaintiff,

ORDER EXTENDING TRO

vs.
VAL-CHRIS INVESTMENTS, INC., et al.,

13
Defendants.
14
15

On February 28, 2011, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1450, the Court confirmed a temporary

16

restraining order issued by the state court prior to Defendants’ removal of the case to this Court and

17

ordered Defendants to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue. Section 1450

18

provides that “[a]ll injunctions, orders, and other proceedings had in such action prior to its removal

19

shall remain in full force and effect until dissolved or modified by the district court.”

20

The parties have briefed Plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction and Defendants’

21

motions to dismiss. Those motions remain under submission before the Court. However, the state

22

court’s TRO states “the temporary restraining order shall expire on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 1:30

23

p.m.” To maintain the status quo while considering the parties’ briefing, the Court orders the TRO

24

remain in effect until the Court issues a ruling on Plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 31, 2011
