temporary restraining order and the balance of equities and the public interest weigh in 

favor of granting temporary relief. See Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, 555 U.S. 7, 

20, 129 S.Ct. 365, 172 L.Ed.2d 249 (2008). 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Motion for Temporary 

Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause for a Preliminary Injunction is (Doc. 4) is 

GRANTED.
