IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA, NORTHERN DIVISION

MAURICE BULLOCK, )

 Plaintiff, )

ORDER

Upon consideration of the plaintiff’s motion for a 

temporary restraining order (doc. no. 62), it is 

ORDERED that the motion is denied.

***

In so deciding, the court notes that the plaintiff 

requests the same relief in his motion for temporary 

restraining order--termination of treatment with 

Prolixin--that he is seeking in his motion for 

preliminary injunction (doc. no. 49), which is pending 

before the United States Magistrate Judge. Given the 

complex nature of the plaintiff’s claim and the work 

the magistrate judge has already put into handling the 

Case 2:15-cv-00638-MHT-SRW Document 64 Filed 11/02/15 Page 1 of 2
motion, it will be most efficient for the magistrate 

judge to address the plaintiff’s request for relief in 

the first instance. Further, as the court lacks the 

specialized knowledge required to make decisions about 

the plaintiff’s medical treatment, it would not be in 

the plaintiff’s best interest (and, indeed, would 

present a serious risk of being harmful to him) for the 

court to grant his request for a temporary restraining 

order at this time.

DONE, this the 2nd day of November, 2015.
