UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

ILWU-PMA WELFARE PLAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

SHARAM BORJKHANI, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 15-cv-04225-HSG 

ORDER REGARDING EX PARTE

MOTION FOR TEMPORARY 

RESTRAINING ORDER 

Re: Dkt. No. 11 

 On September 21, 2015, Plaintiffs, ILWU-PMA Welfare Plan and Trustees of the ILWUPMA Welfare Plan, moved the Court ex parte for entry of a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) 

and for a preliminary injunction barring Defendants and Defendants’ former attorneys from 

“dissipating funds” to be received from the settlement of another matter. 

 Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1), a court may issue a temporary restraining 

order without written or oral notice to the adverse party or its attorneys only if: “(A) specific facts 

in an affidavit or 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.” Plaintiffs have not satisfied subpart (B) of the rule. Additionally, 

because the TRO sought concerns funds that Defendants have not yet received, Plaintiffs have not 

shown that “immediate and irreparable” loss or injury will result if the TRO does not issue without 

notice to the Defendants. 

 Plaintiffs are directed to serve the documents submitted to the Court under Docket 

Numbers 11-16 (the ex parte motion and supporting documentation) and 20 (this order) on all 

named Defendants by no later than 5 p.m. PST on Wednesday, September 23, 2015. Any 

Defendant opposing the relief sought by Plaintiffs must file a response with this Court by no later
