order Order on Motion for Preliminary Injunction Order on Motion for TRO Mon 06/01 10:47 AM
TEXT ORDER: Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (d/e2 ). Plaintiff's Motion, however, does nothing more than identify the relevant standard and state that Plaintiff is entitled to relief. Plaintiff also has not identified what efforts, if any, have been made to serve the Defendant. For these reasons, Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (d/e2 ) is DENIED without prejudice with leave to renew if Plaintiff can identify how he meets the standard for issuance of a temporary restraining order, either with or without notice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b); Checker Car Club of Am., Inc. v. Fay, 262 F. Supp. 3d 621, 626 (N.D. Ill. 2017) ("A temporary restraining order is an extraordinary and drastic remedy, which should not be granted unless the movant carries the burden of persuasion by a clear showing.").
