Having considered Plaintiff's response to the OSC #21 . the Court is satisfied that Plaintiff effectively notified Defendant of the TRO Application and Defendant's obligation to timely respond.

March 27, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 20 MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS - ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY COURT SHOULD NOT DISSOLVE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AS IMPROVIDENTLY GRANTED by Judge Dolly M. Gee: On 3/19/2019, the Court issued an Order granting Plaintiff Katherine Weaver's Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO Application") #13 . It is unclear to the Court that Plaintiff's initial service of the required documents on Defendant was proper. While Plaintiff's counsel's declaration states that the lawyers at Alvarez-Glasman & Colvin represent Defendant, it does not state that the firm is authorized to accept service on Defendant's behalf. As a result, the Court cannot be sure that Plaintiff complied with the Initial Standing Order's requirement that parties moving for ex parte relief must serve their applications on opposing parties. Plaintiff is therefore ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why the Court should not dissolve the TRO as improvidently granted and reschedule a hearing on Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction after Defendant makes its appearance. Plaintiff shall file a written response to this Order by 3/28/2019 at 12:00 PM. Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk)

Gee: On 3/19/2019, the Court issued an Order granting Plaintiff's Ex Parte Application for a Temporary Restraining Order #13 . In that Order the Court set a hearing date on Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction for 4/2/2019 at 10:00 AM. The Order also erroneously stated that Defendant must show cause on 3/29/2019 at 11:00 AM why a preliminary injunction should not issue. In the interest of clarity, that portion of the 3/19/2019 Order is hereby amended to state that: Defendant is hereby ordered to show cause on 4/2/2019 at 10:00 AM why a preliminary injunction should not issue enjoining Defendant from enforcing the above referenced zoning ordinance to preclude Plaintiff from opening and operating a tattoo studio in her desired location. The only hearing date on Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction shall be on 4/2/2019 10:00 AM before Judge Dolly M. Gee.

March 15, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 10 MINUTES OF IN CHAMBERS - ORDER RE PLAINTIFF'S EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER by Judge Dolly M.

Based on Plaintiff's filings, the Court cannot be sure whether Defendant is aware of the TRO Application. The Court shall therefore defer considering Plaintiff's Application until she files an additional declaration indicating the time and date that she served Defendant with her TRO Application, Complaint, and this Order, and notified Defendant of its 24-hour response deadline.
