v.

LLC, an Arizona limited liability

corporation; Tina Choate, an individual;

Brian Meyers, an individual; Goldstone

No. 10-CV-1042-PHX-NVW

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING

ORDER

The Court has read and considered the verified complaint on file with this Court,

application for temporary restraining order of Museum Associates, Ltd., and the

accompanying affidavits. It appears from these documents that the ownership of a large,

unique, collection of giant crystals and fossils (the “Collection”) is at issue and that one or

more of the Defendants may have engaged in fraud and conversion as to the Collection. 

Unless a temporary restraining order issues without notice, immediate and irreparable injury

will result to Museum Associates, Ltd. if Defendants remove or sell any of the Collection

from its current location before a hearing on a preliminary injunction can be held.
