18 18 1 pgs order Order Fri 11/15 1:48 PM
ORDER: The plaintiff shall respond to the defendant's Motion for Emergency Relief and for the Issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order and Thereafter Preliminary Injunction (Doc. No. 16) by November 18, 2024. Had the defendant read the actual Temporary Restraining Order entered by the court on November 12, 2024 (Doc. No. 12), he would know that this court did not prohibit the defendant from filing a Charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This court conditioned the issuance of the Temporary Restraining Order on behalf of the plaintiff upon the posting of a $10,000 surety bond. (Doc. No. 12 at 5). As of 1:30 p.m. on November 15, 2024, that bond had yet to be posted. Therefore, there is no Temporary Restraining Order in effect in favor of the plaintiff. Signed by District Judge Aleta A. Trauger on 11/15/2024. (ds)
