January 16, 2023 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER: As Plaintiff has indicated to Chambers that the emergency relief requested is an order enjoining Defendant from further ticketing Plaintiff until the resolution of his pending administrative proceeding, the parties shall adhere to the following briefing schedule: Defendant shall file a supplemental opposition to Plaintiff's #2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order on or before January 23, 2023, and Plaintiff may file a supplemental reply on or before January 30, 2023. In addition to any other issue the parties may raise in their briefing, they shall describe with particularity the challenged regulatory regime and its relationship to the purportedly preemptive federal law. Although the Court intends to expeditiously resolve the pending #2 Motion, the Court concludes, pursuant to LCvR 65.1(d), that a ruling later than 21 days after the #2 Motion's filing will not prejudice the parties.

January 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 REPLY to opposition to motion re #2 MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order filed by EDWARD D. WASHINGTON. (zjm)
January 13, 2023 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER: Upon review of the parties' initial submissions, the Court has determined that it requires full briefing as to Plaintiff's #2 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. As an initial matter, the Court shall deny temporary relief in advance of full briefing on the #2 Motion because the only harm Plaintiff has identified is pecuniary and sua sponte convert Plaintiff's #2 motion into one for a preliminary injunction. See Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches v. England, 454 F.3d 290, 297 (D.C. Cir. 2006) ("A movants failure to show any irreparable harm is therefore grounds for refusing to issue a preliminary injunction, even if the other three factors entering the calculus merit such relief.") However, because Plaintiff may attempt to identify irreparable harm in full briefing, and in light of his exceptionally short motion and pro se status, the Court shall permit full briefing on Plaintiff's #2 motion. In advance of ordering full briefing, Plaintiff must clarify the relief he requests. Plaintiff, in one sentence, asks the Court to "prohibit further infractions until my case is heard in court." Plaintiff shall, by 9:00 AM ET tomorrow, clarify whether he means "court" to refer to this Court or to refer to the pending administrative proceedings before the District of Columbia Office of Administrative Proceedings. Given the unusual nature of requests for preliminary relief and Plaintiff's demand for a temporary restraining order, the Court shall permit Plaintiff to file his response via email to Chambers, provided he subsequently files his response on the docket afterwards. Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on January 13, 2023. (lcckk1)
