March 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 20 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS - COURT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' EX-PARTE APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER PROHIBITING DEFENDANTS FROM SELLING REAL PROPERTY AT FORECLOSURE SALE PENDING TRIAL by Judge George H. Wu: In the Application, Plaintiffs have not provided any information about whether or when Defendants have scheduled an impending foreclosure sale of the Property. Thus, without such evidence of imminency, the Court would not find that the circumstances are sufficiently emergent for the issuance of a temporary restraining order. The Court requests that both parties submit by noon on March 31, 2022, any evidence regarding whether there is any impending foreclosure or other sale of the Property. If such sale is not imminent, then the Court will simply address the issue of a preliminary injunction on April 18, 2022, when the Court is already set to hear arguments on the Defendants' motion to dismiss.
