NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEVI STRAUSS & CO.,

Plaintiff,

v.

AQUA DYNAMICS SYSTEMS, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04718-WHO 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR A 

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 

AND SETTING HEARING FOR 

MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY 

INJUNCTION

Re: Dkt. No. 26

Plaintiff’s ill-timed motion for a temporary restraining order is DENIED. It waived any 

claim of emergency: the arbitration it seeks to stop was demanded on September 15, 2015, was 

commenced by JAMS on December 23, 2015, and had arbitrators selected by January 22, 2016, 

yet plaintiff waited until the afternoon of February 12, 2016 to seek a TRO. Nor is any emergency 

apparent. The motion mentions no impending hearing date. The only apparent threatened damage 

is that JAMS wants payment for the arbitrators; money damages do not constitute irreparable 

injury.

The motion will be treated as a motion for a preliminary injunction and will be heard on 

March 30, 2016, along with defendant’s motion to dismiss. Defendant may file an opposition on 

March 2, 2016, and plaintiff may reply on March 9, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 16, 2016
