ORDER re 3 MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order by FNU ABHISHEK. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1), the Court may issue a temporary restraining order without written or oral notice to the adverse party only if (1) "specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the movant before the adverse party can be heard in opposition" and (2) "the movant's attorney certifies in writing any efforts made to give notice and the reasons why it should not be required." Further, pursuant to Section III.C of the undersigned's Practices and Procedures (available at:https://www.pawd.uscourts.gov/sites/pawd/files/Wiegand_Practices_Procedures_2024.pdf), "[c]onsistent with Rule 65, the Court will not issue a temporary restraining order: (1) when the opposing party has been served; (2) when the motion provides no certification indicating that prompt service cannot be accomplished; or (3) when the motion is unaccompanied by an affidavit or verified complaint consistent with Rule 65(b)(1)(A)." Here, counsel for Petitioner has failed to certify in writing either the efforts made to provide notice or reasons why notice should not be given, which is required under Rule 65(b)(1). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request for a TRO is DENIED for failure to meet these procedural requirements. In addition, in the Motion for a TRO, Petitioner seeks, among other relief, an order from the Court directing Respondents to provide Petitioner with a bond hearing before a neutral immigration judge. Given that Petitioner is requesting affirmative relief rather than maintenance of the status quo, Petitioner's request goes beyond the limited, temporary nature of a TRO and requires giving Respondents notice and an opportunity to be heard. See Hope v. Warden York County Prison, 956 F.3d 156, 162 (3d Cir. 2020). Accordingly, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the Court will DENY the request for a TRO but will review the 3 Motion as a request for a preliminary injunction. A case management order will issue forthwith. Signed by Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand on 2/17/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
