United States Courthouse located at the U.S. Courthouse, 68 Court Street, Buffalo, NY, 14202, on or before ________________, or as soon as the Court's calendar permits, for an order dissolving the temporary restraining order. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(4), Defendants respectfully request that this motion be heard on two days' notice, or sooner, as the Court's calendar permits. Should the Court schedule a later return date, Defendants request the opportunity to file reply papers if feasible. This motion is made on the grounds that the application for the temporary restraining order and the temporary restraining order itself are procedurally insufficient and must be dissolved pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff has failed to establish any factual or legal basis in support of his application, and the restraining order as currently issued is impermissibly vague, indefinite, and void of support for its issuance.
