On August 8, 2005, Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a

motion for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) against Bill Lockyer,

Plaintiff’s arguments are insufficient to justify the

issuance of a TRO because he fails to articulate a substantial

likelihood of imminent, irreparable harm. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s

TRO request is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
