Upon request from the United States and good cause having been shown that: 

(1) Defendants have engaged in and are likely to engage in acts or practices that violate 18 

U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1344 and 1349, and the United States is likely to prevail on the merits of this 

action; (2) immediate and irreparable harm will result from Defendants’ ongoing violations of 18 

U.S.C. §§ 1343, 1344, and 1349 unless they are restrained and enjoined by order of this Court; 

(3) immediate and irreparable damage to the Court’s ability to grant effective relief will occur 

from the transfer, destruction, or other dissipation or concealment by Defendants of their assets 

or records unless they are restrained and enjoined by order of this Court; (4) good cause exists 

for freezing the assets of the Corporate Entities and Defendants Eide and Smith; (5) good cause 

exists for the ongoing appointment of a temporary receiver over the Corporate Entities, as well as 

any other entity that the Receiver determines is controlled or owned by the Corporate Entities, 

Defendant Eide, or Defendant Smith, and giving the United States and the Receiver ongoing 

access to CB Surety’s business premises; and (6) extending the terms of the temporary 

restraining order is in the public interest given the fraud scheme, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED 

that the duration of the temporary restraining order (ECF No. 7) is extended until the parties have 

an opportunity to be heard at the preliminary injunction hearing and the Court issues its ruling. 

Further, the preliminary injunction hearing is hereby advanced to 10:00 a.m. on January 3, 2024. 

Defendants shall file and serve any opposition to the motion for a preliminary no later than 12:00 

p.m. on December 29, 2023, and the Government shall file and serve any reply no later than 

12:00 p.m. on January 2, 2024. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Date: December 20, 2023
