No. 3:22-CV-01366-S 

ORDER SETTING STATUS CONFERENCE AND 

EXTENDING TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, the Court sets a status conference and 

extends the June 16, 2022 Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) as follows: 

1. On June 16, 2022, Dallas County Associate Judge Tahira Merritt entered the TRO

against Defendant Natasha Roberson (“Defendant”) and set a June 30, 2022 hearing on Plaintiff’s 

Application for Temporary Injunction. On June 23, 2022, Defendant removed the case to this 

Court. Doc. 1. Having considered Plaintiff Le-Vel Brands, LLC’s motion to set a status conference 

and to extend the TRO, the motion is hereby GRANTED. 

2. The Court sets a status conference for _________________, 2022 at ________, to

determine a date for a preliminary injunction hearing, and the schedule for any briefing and 

discovery before the hearing. 

3. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 authorizes the Court to extend the TRO for an

additional 14 days for good cause, and longer with the defendant’s consent. The Court finds good 

cause to extend the TRO while the Court and the parties develop a plan for the preliminary 

injunction hearing. Sec. & Exch. Comm’n v. AriseBank, No. 3:18-CV-186-M, 2018 WL 10419828,
