IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION AT DAYTON
WAYNE DOYLE, Plaintiff, -vs: CLARK COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY, et al., Defendants. : Case No. 3:07-cv-003 District Judge Thomas M. Rose Chief Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

This case was set for hearing on Plaintiff's request for preliminary injunctive relief at 9:30 A.M. on Monday, January 22, 2007. Notice of the hearing had been given to the parties in writing as part of the Report and Recommendations (Doc. No. 5). Defendant John McConagha was present in person and he and the Clark County Public Library were represented by attorney Lauren Ross, their trial attorney in this case. Plaintiff, however, did not appear, despite having been advised by the Court's staff on Friday, January 19, 2007, that the hearing was still scheduled and that he was required to appear. The burden of proving entitlement to preliminary injunctive relief is, of course, on the party seeking that relief. Because Plaintiff failed to proceed as scheduled, there is no more evidence before the Court supporting preliminary injunctive relief now than there was when the motion for temporary restraining order was heard. On the same basis as given for that request, the Magistrate
