This Order was issued by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, denying the Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO).
The Court began by noting that a TRO is an "extraordinary and drastic remedy" for which the standard is "very high." It recited the four-factor test requiring a party seeking such relief to make a clear showing of: (i) a likelihood of success on the merits; (ii) a likelihood of suffering irreparable harm without the relief; (iii) a balance of equities in its favor; and (iv) that the relief is in the public interest. The Court found that the Plaintiff failed to meet this high standard, concluding that the motion did not meaningfully address any of the four factors. Accordingly, the Court denied the motion for a TRO and stated that it would consider the Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction in due course.
