(In Chambers) Order by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Petitioner's motion for a temporary restraining order is denied without prejudice. Though styled as a motion, it fails to comply with the procedural requirements for filing a motion. See, e.g., L.R. 7-3, 7-4. To the extent that it is intended to serve as an ex parte application for a temporary restraining order, it fails to comply with the procedural and notice requirements in Fed. R. Civ. P. 65, L.R. 65-1, L.R. 7-19.1 and Paragraph 9 of this Court's Civil Standing Order. Petitioner's counsel is ordered to review and comply with the Court's Civil Standing Order, which is available on Judge Blumenfeld's website. To the extent that Petitioner is seeking an extraordinary remedy in the form of preliminary relief, he should refile his request in compliance with all applicable rules and orders, including the notice requirements.
