Plaintiffs have filed an application for a temporary

restraining order requesting that the court enjoin defendant Onewest

Bank, FSB from selling their home at a trustee’s sale, currently

scheduled to occur on April 9, 2010. Plaintiffs, however, have not

shown they are entitled to have their unnoticed TRO application

considered.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1) prescribes: 

The court may issue a temporary restraining order

without written or oral notice to the adverse

party or its attorney only if:

(A) specific facts in an affidavit or a verified

complaint clearly show that immediate and

irreparable injury, loss, or damage will

result to the movant before the adverse party

can be heard in opposition; and

(B) the movant’s attorney certifies in writing any

efforts made to give notice and the reasons

why it should not be required.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1). Further, Local Rule 231(a) prescribes the

type of notice the moving party is required to provide the adverse

party:

Except in the most extraordinary of circumstances,

no temporary restraining order shall be granted in

the absence of actual notice to the affected party

and/or counsel, by telephone or other means, or a

sufficient showing of efforts made to provide

notice. Appropriate notice would inform the

affected party and/or counsel of the intention to

seek a temporary restraining order, the date and

time for hearing to be requested of the Court, and

the nature of the relief requested. Once a specific

time and location has been set by the Court, the

moving party shall promptly give additional notice

of the time and location of the hearing.

E.D. Cal. R. 231(a).

Since Plaintiffs have failed to comply with the notice

requirements in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1) and Local

Rule 231(a), Plaintiffs’ TRO application is denied.

Dated: April 5, 2010
