| Filing 19 AFFIDAVIT of Service re 18 Order,,,,,,,,,,,, Set Hearings,,,,,,,,,,, Oral Order Setting Hearing on Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Motion for Preliminary Injunction filed by No Labels. (Green, William) |

Filing 18
ORAL ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this Court shall hold a hearing on Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Motion for Preliminary Injunction, D.I. 3, on Friday, December 15, 2023, at 10:30 am, in Courtroom 6B. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall serve a copy of this Oral Order on Defendant on or before Tuesday, December 12, 2023, at 10:30 am. Plaintiff shall file with the Court a proof of service evidencing that service of this Oral Order was made on Defendant on or before Tuesday, December 12, 2023, at 10:30 am. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant shall file any response in opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Motion for Preliminary Injunction on or before Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 10:30 am. IT IS ALSO ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Expedite Discovery, (D.I. 14), is DENIED. The Court has analyzed Plaintiff's request under the test set forth in Notaro v. Koch, 95 F.R.D. 403 (S.D.N.Y. 1982) as well as a the "reasonableness" test. Park Lawn Corp. v. PlotBox, Inc., C.A. No. 20-1484-RGA, 2021 WL 3490020, at *1 (D. Del. Aug. 9, 2021). Plaintiff fails to show that expedited discovery is warranted under either standard. Under the Notaro standard, the moving party must demonstrate "(1) irreparable injury, (2) some probability of success on the merits, (3) some connection between the expedited discovery and the avoidance of the irreparable injury, and (4) some evidence that the injury that will result without expedited discovery looms greater than the injury that the defendant will suffer if the expedited relief is granted." Notaro, 95 F.R.D. at 405. Here, Plaintiff has not shown a connection between the expedited discovery into the identity of the individual(s) that make up Defendant's corporation and the avoidance of irreparable injury. Also, Plaintiff seeks a broad scope of Rule 26 discovery on an expedited basis without explaining how it is related to potential injury. Under the reasonableness test, the Court must weigh "(1) the timing and context of the discovery requests, including whether a preliminary injunction hearing has been scheduled; (2) the scope and purpose of the requests; and (3) the nature of the burden to the respondent." Kone Corp. v. ThyssenKrupp USA, Inc., 2011 WL 4478477, at *4 (D. Del. Sept. 26, 2011). Again, Plaintiff's requested expedited discovery is overly broad and the Court fails to see the necessity of such broad expedited discovery at this time as it relates to the pending Motion for Temporary Restraining Order/Preliminary Injunction, given the Court can grant or deny the motion without such information. Park Lawn, 2021 WL 3490020, at *2. ORDERED by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 12/11/23. (ntl)
