CASE NO. 2:16-CV-387-WKW 

(WO)

ORDER

 Before the court is Plaintiff John W. Tisdale, Jr.’s motion to request 

inclusion of real property in this case. (Doc. # 39.) In the motion, Tisdale seeks 

(1) an order expanding the May 27, 2016 Temporary Restraining Order (Doc. # 8) 

to prohibit Defendant from destroying certain real property; or, alternatively, (2) a 

new temporary restraining order prohibiting Defendant from destroying the 

property. 

 To the extent that Tisdale seeks an amendment of the May 27, 2016 

Temporary Restraining Order (Doc. # 8), the motion is futile because the May 27, 

2016 Temporary Restraining Order expired on August 26, 2016. (Doc. # 23.) See 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2) (“The [TRO] expires at the time after entry – not to exceed 

14 days – that the court sets, unless before that time the court, for good cause, 

extends it for a like period or the adverse party consents to a longer extension.”).

 To the extent that the motion seeks a new temporary restraining order, the 

motion is due to be denied because the motion does not meet the requirements of 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1). 

 Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff John W. Tisdale, Jr.’s motion to 

request inclusion of real property in this case (Doc. # 39) is DENIED. 

DONE this 29th day of September, 2016.
