Plaintiffs request that the 17 TRO issue “without notice to defendant[, arguing they] will suffer 18 immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage if the [TRO] is not 19 granted before defendant can be heard[.]” (Pet. for Temporary Inj. 9:9- 20 11.) However, “[t]he court may issue a temporary restraining order 21 without written or oral notice to the adverse party or its attorney only 22 if . . . specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint clearly 23 show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result 24 to the movant before the adverse party can be heard in opposition[.]” 25 Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(A). 26 Plaintiffs have filed a verified TRO petition and complaint, 27 which are devoid of facts justifying issuance of an unnoticed TRO, and 28 only contain conclusory averments that are insufficient to satisfy the 1 1 applicable injunction standard. See Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. 2 Cottrell, 3 injunction is an “extraordinary remedy” and to obtain an injunction, the 4 movants must establish a likelihood of success on the merits, that they 5 are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of injunctive 6 relief, that the balance of equities tips in their favor, and in certain 7 instances that an injunction is in the public interest). Therefore, 8 Plaintiffs’ request for a TRO is denied. 9 Dated: 632 F.3d 1127, 1131 (9th Cir. 2011) (stating June 2, 2011 10 11 12 GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR.
