ORDER SETTING DEADLINE

FOR OPPOSITION TO

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO

STAY AND FOR TRO OR

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

AND SETTING DATE FOR

ORAL ARGUMENT

THEREON

In this action for breach of contract and declaratory relief, defendant Andina Licores

S.A. (“Andina”) has applied ex parte for a stay of proceedings pending appeal and for

temporary restraining order (“TRO”), or preliminary injunction, or, in the alternative, for

modification of the preliminary injunction issued by this court on March 4, 2006. Andina

seeks, among other things, to prevent plaintiff E. & J. Gallo Winery (“Gallo”) from seeking

dismissal of Andina’s action currently pending in the Second Civil Court of Guayaquil,

Ecuador, where Andina has been prevented from further participation in that proceeding by

order of this court. 

Pursuant to Rule 65(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a temporary restraining

order may be granted without notice to the adverse party only if: 1) it clearly appears from

specific facts shown by affidavit or verified complaint that immediate and irreparable injury,

loss or damage will result before the adverse party can be heard in opposition, and 2) the

applicant’s attorney certifies the reasons that notice should not be required. The court has

reviewed Andina’s application and finds that Andina has not stated facts sufficient to show

immediate and irreparable injury that would require the court’s decision before the adverse

party can be heard in opposition. However, the court finds Andina has stated facts sufficient

to show a need for consideration of injunctive relief at the earliest possible time. The court

will therefore direct opposition briefing and schedule a hearing at the earliest possible time

consistent with the court’s availability.

THEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that Gallo may file and serve any opposition

to Andina’s application for stay pending appeal, issuance of TRO or preliminary injunction,

or modification of preliminary injunction not later than 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday July 11, 2006. 

Hearing on Andina’s application will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 18, 2006, in

courtroom 2.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
