Fenton et al v. Teddy Mountain, Inc. Doc. 8 Case 2:07-cv-00492-EJL-LMB Document 8 Filed 11/15/2007 Page 1 of 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF IDAHO THE BEAR MILL, INC., an Idaho corporation, and JANIS FENTON, an individual, vs. Plaintiffs, CASE NO: CV07-492-N-EJL ORDER TEDDY MOUNTAIN INC., a Canadian corporation, Defendant. Plaintiffs, The Bear Mill, Inc. and Janis Fenton, have filed an Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and a Motion for Preliminary Injunction requesting that the Court order Defendant Teddy Mountain, Inc. "to cease and desist their use of The Bear Mill, Inc.'s registered trademarks." (Docket No. 2). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b) provides that a temporary restraining order may be granted ex parte only if "it clearly appears from specific facts shown by affidavit or by the verified complaint that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the applicant before the adverse party . . . can be heard in opposition." The verified Complaint and affidavits filed in support of the Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order fail to clearly set forth "specific facts" that demonstrate the Plaintiffs will experience "immediate and irreparable injury" before the Defendant "can be heard in opposition." Accordingly, this Court will not entertain the Plaintiffs' motion ex parte. Instead, the Court will permit briefing on the Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
