IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

Shi’a Association of the Bay Area, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

Michael Chertoff, et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 07-03328 JW 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ EX

PARTE MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY

RESTRAINING ORDER; SETTING

HEARING FOR ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE RE: PRELIMINARY

INJUNCTION

This is an action for a Declaratory, Injunctive, and Mandatory Relief under the Immigration

and Administrative Procedure Act. (See Docket Item No. 1.) Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Ex

Parte Application for a Temporary Retraining Order and Order to Show Cause Re: Preliminary

Injunction. (See Docket No. 2.) The Individual Plaintiffs contend that on July 30, 2007, they will

accrue 180 days of “unlawful presence,” which will bar them from adjustment of status or re-entry

into the United States for a period of 3 to 10 year. (Certification by Attorney Re: Service of TRO to

Defendants.)

Having considered the papers submitted, the Court finds that the harm Plaintiffs allege they

will suffer before a formal hearing is not irreparable. There is sufficient time for a hearing on an

Order to Show Cause Re: Preliminary Injunction before Plaintiffs are at imminent risk of accruing

over 180 days of “unlawful presence” in the United States. Accordingly, the Court DENIES

Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary injunction.
