ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

Before the Court is plaintiffs’ “Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order,”

filed July 6, 2016, by which plaintiffs seek an order freezing defendants’ assets, and to

have such order issue without notice of such request having been given by plaintiffs to the

named defendants. The Court, having read and considered the papers filed in support of

the motion, hereby rules as follows. 

A district court “may issue a temporary restraining order without written or oral notice

to the adverse party or its attorney only if: (A) specific facts in an affidavit or a verified

evidence and cited case and statutory authority in support of the requested injunction,

plaintiffs have not made a sufficient showing as to their entitlement to such relief without

notice to defendants.

Accordingly, the motion is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
