ORDER
14
Pro se Plaintiffs filed a petition for a Temporary Restraining
15
Order (“TRO”) on June 1, 2011, in which they seek to enjoin Defendant
16
from foreclosing on real property they own. 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.
