(In Chambers) Order by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: Petitioners Motion for a Preliminary Injunction and 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 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.

(In Chambers) Order by Judge Stanley Blumenfeld, Jr.: As petitioner concedes, his petition for a writ of habeas corpus is moot because he has been granted the principal relief sought, and he does not seek further injunctive relief. Dkt. Nos. 1314. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as moot. Final judgment will be entered separately. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
