UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
TRUSTEES OF THE SHEET METAL
WORKERS’ LOCAL UNION NO. 80
PENSION TRUST FUND,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case Number 10-12154
Honorable David M. Lawson

WINCHESTER LAND, L.L.C.,
and WG HEATING LLC,
Defendants.
____________________________________________/
ORDER DENYING EX PARTE MOTION FOR ENTRY OF ORDER MODIFYING
RESTRAINING ORDER AND AUTHORIZING DISBURSEMENT OF GARNISHED
FUNDS
The matter is before the Court on the plaintiff’s ex parte motion for entry of order modifying
restraining order and authorizing disbursement of garnished funds. The Court finds that it is
improper to adjudicate this motion on an ex parte basis. All of the parties have a right to notice and
an opportunity to be heard. See Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67, 90-91 (1972). Therefore, the Court
will deny the plaintiff’s motion without prejudice. It may be resubmitted as a motion in compliance
with the local rules. See E.D. Mich. LR 7.1.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the plaintiff’s ex parte motion for entry of order
modifying restraining order and authorizing disbursement of garnished funds [dkt. #101] is
DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
