2025-03-26 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Motion hearing held on 3/26/2025. The Court granted Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order on February 25, 2025 22. The Court then granted Plaintiff's request to extend the temporary restraining order through March 25, 2025 26. Summons was submitted and issued on March 18 and 19, respectively [27, 28]. Plaintiff then filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on March 20, noting in its Certificate of Service that a copy of the motion had been "served by publication and email to the Defendants identified in Amended Schedule A on March 20, 2025." [29 at *3.] Five days later, Plaintiff served Defendants with the summons and complaint 28 and filed an executed summons on March 26 only after the Court's inquiry during presentment of Plaintiff's motion.The Court will not entertain a motion for preliminary injunction where a party has not been afforded sufficient notice of the motion. Where a plaintiff takes steps to advance its case, the Court expects that the plaintiff will take such steps in the right order and in a fashion that affords defendants reasonable notice. This Court's idea of sufficient notice is explicitly outlined in its standing order, which states that "[a]ny motion for a preliminary injunction must be filed at least 14 days after service on the defendants of the complaint, Temporary Restraining Order, motion for a temporary restraining order" The Court will enter and continue Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction until 4/8/2025, the date after which Plaintiff should have waited to move for a preliminary injunction under this Court's standing order. The Court will take Plaintiff's motion under advisement after such date. Plaintiff is directed to inform the Court on or after 4/8/2025 whether any circumstances or Defendants' status have changed. Mailed notice. |
