January 17, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 6 Order denying Request for Emergency Preliminary Injunctive Relief (Doc. 1, p. 18). To obtain preliminary injunctive relief, whether through a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, Plaintiff must demonstrate that (1) his underlying case has some likelihood of success; (2) no adequate remedy at law exists; and (3) he will suffer irreparable harm without the relief. Merritte v. Kessel, 561 F. Appx 546, 548 (7th Cir. 2014). The Court may issue a TRO only if specific facts in an affidavit or verified complaint clearly show that Plaintiff will suffer immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage before the adverse party can be heard in opposition. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(A). The allegations in the Complaint pertain to inadequate medical care for Plaintiff's hemorrhoids. In the request for relief section of the Complaint, Plaintiff asks the Court "to grant Petitioners Emergency Preliminary Injunction Relief," but does not specify what relief he is seeking. The Complaint does not include any allegations that Plaintiff is facing an immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage that warrants preliminary injunctive relief. Accordingly, the request for emergency preliminary injunctive relief in the Complaint is denied. Signed by Judge Staci M. Yandle on 1/17/2020. (ksp)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT.
