September 28, 2018 Filing 16 REPLY to Response to #2 First MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order filed by Petitioner Quang Minh Lien. (Boyle, Daniel)
September 24, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: This matter is before the Court on Petitioner's Motion to Extend the Time for Responding to Governments [sic] Response #13 . Petitioner's Motion is subject to being summarily stricken, given counsel's failure to meaningfully comply with the conferral requirements of D.C.Colo.LCivR7.1A, see Hoelzel v. First Select Corp., 214 F.R.D. 634 (D. Colo. 2003); and failure to indicate that he has served a copy of the Motion on his client, as is required by D.C.COLO.LCivR 6.1(c). The Court requires that the certificate of service specifically confirm that service has been made upon moving counsel's client and, if appropriate, identify the individual who has received service of the motion on behalf of any party which is not a natural person. In addition, the Motion fails to comply with this Court's Local Rule 10.1(e), which requires "all pleadings and documents [to] be double spaced." However, given the circumstances presented, the Court finds that judicial economy and the interests of justice are best served by GRANTING the Motion. Petitioner is granted leave, for good cause shown, to file his reply in support of his Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order #2 on or before September 28, 2018. Counsel is forewarned that all future motions must comply with all applicable WJM Revised Practice Standards and the Court's Local Rules, or they may be summarily stricken. SO ORDERED by Judge William J. Martinez on 9/24/2018. Text Only Entry (wjmsec, )

September 20, 2018 Filing 13 First MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer or Otherwise Respond by Petitioner Quang Minh Lien. (Boyle, Daniel)
September 18, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER: This matter is before the Court on #2 Plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order.

The Court received Defendants' response on September 12, 2018. Given that Plaintiff has been in receipt of Defendants' response since September 12, he is DIRECTED to file a reply in support of his Motion by September 21, 2018. After receiving any reply Plaintiff elects to file, the Court will determine whether an evidentiary hearing on the preliminary injunction motion will be necessary. SO ORDERED by Judge William J.

September 4, 2018 Filing 8 BRIEF in Support of #2 First MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order filed by Petitioner Quang Minh Lien. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit)(Boyle, Daniel)
August 29, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order #2 . Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1), a court may issue a TRO without notice to the opposing party only if (a) the specific facts in an affidavit or verified complaint presented "clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result" and (b) movant's attorney certifies in writing his or her efforts to give notice and why notice should not be required. In addition, to obtain a TRO, Plaintiff must satisfy the same elements it would need to satisfy for a preliminary injunction. See NRC Broad. Inc. v. Cool Radio, LLC, 2009 WL 2965279, at *1 (D. Colo. Sept. 14, 2009). Among those elements, "a showing of probable irreparable harm is the single most important prerequisite." Dominion Video Satellite, Inc. v. Echostar Satellite Corp., 356 F.3d 1256, 1260 (10th Cir. 2004) (internal quotation marks omitted). Because Plaintiff failed to submit an affidavit or verified complaint setting forth the facts upon which his Motion is predicated, or justified the absence of these items, the Court cannot issue a TRO without notice to Defendants. Portillo v. U.S., 2009 WL 146521 (D. Colo. Jan. 21, 2009). Moreover, Plaintiff has not established that any alleged irreparable harm is so immediate as to justify a TRO without notice to the opposing party. Finally, Plaintiff's counsel has not certified his efforts to provide notice or justified why notice should not be required. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(b). For these reasons, Plaintiff's Motion #2 is DENIED IN PART as to the request for a TRO. Plaintiff's request, also contained in the Motion, for a preliminary injunction remains pending. Plaintiff's counsel is ORDERED to effect service on Defendants by no later than September 10, 2018, and to forthwith thereafter file with the Court documentation evidencing the service of process. Defendants are DIRECTED to file a Response to Plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order no later than seven calendar days after Defendants' counsel enters his or her appearance. Upon receipt of the Defendants' Response, the Court will determine if a Reply and/or an evidentiary hearing on Plaintiff's Motion is necessary. SO ORDEREDby Judge William J. Martinez on 8/29/2018. Text Only Entry (wjmlc2)
August 28, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER REFERRING CASE to Magistrate Judge S. Kato Crews. Magistrate Judge Crews, or such other Magistrate Judge who may in the future be reassigned this case, is designated to conduct NDISPO proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(A) and (B) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(a) and (b).

On the recommendation or informal request of the Magistrate Judge or on the request of the parties by motion, the court may direct the parties to engage in an early neutral evaluation, a settlement conference, or another alternative dispute resolution proceeding.
