An application for a temporary restraining order or application for a preliminary injunction
made in compliance with FRCP 65 will be considered by the Court only upon compliance
with the following:
(1) The filing of a motion or complaint seeking such relief;
(2) Compliance with the notice provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65; and
(3) Application to the judge to whom the case is assigned. Application may be
made to another judge in the event the judge to whom the case is assigned is
unavailable by asking the Clerk to arrange for hearing before another judge.
(4) In the event an application for temporary restraining order is filed preceding
a complaint and, accordingly, before a judge is assigned, the filing of the
application will cause the random selection of a judge. If the first randomly
assigned judge is unavailable, the random selection will continue until an
available judge is drawn, with that judge continuing through the case as the
assigned judge.
