A party may seek a temporary restraining order by the standard motion procedure (i.e.,
advanced notice, 21 days for an opposition, and 7 days for a reply) or by Emergency
Motion/Order to Show Cause, as appropriate. Filing procedures and requirements for supporting
documents are the same as set forth in Local Rule 7.1 for other motions. The application must
include the following: the motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary
Injunction; a copy of the complaint, only if the case has been recently filed; a memorandum of
law; and a proposed order granting the injunctive relief. The moving party must serve any
application for a temporary restraining order on all other parties unless Fed. R. Civ. P. 65
otherwise permits. L.R. 7.1(a)(2) governs motions for injunctive relief, other than those brought
by Order to Show Cause. L.R. 7.1(e) governs motions brought by Order to Show Cause.
