June 20, 2019 Opinion or Order ELECTRONIC ORDER denying #6 Motion for TRO; denying Motion for Permanent Injunction; denying Motion for Hearing.Plaintiff Alex Amner Borukhov filed a Complaint on June 7, 2019 (DE 1). On June 19, 2019, this Court received a "judicial temporary restraining order, permanent injunction and demand for an emergency hearing due to pending lawsuit in federal court" from Plaintiff (DE 6). He wants this Court to "force the Bank's attorneys, the realtors, and the Property Management Companies to cease and decease [sic] all foreclosure and eviction efforts" and "seeks relief from the defendants' wrongful foreclosure practices actions" (DE 6 at 2). Plaintiff's request for emergency relief is DENIED. To obtain a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, a plaintiff must demonstrate: "(1) irreparable harm; (2) either (a) a likelihood of success on the merits or (b) sufficiently serious questions going to the merits of the case to make it a fair ground for litigation, and a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor; and (3) that a preliminary injunction is in the public interest." Residents & Families United to Save Our Adult Homes v. Zucker, No. 16-CV-1683, 2017 WL 3446805, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 10, 2017).Although it is difficult to discern any factual allegations from Plaintiff's papers, in the event he wishes to overturn the sale of a home pursuant to a state court judgment of foreclosure and sale, this Court would be barred from granting such relief. See, e.g., Jing Chun Wu v. Levine, No. 05-CV-1234, 2005 WL 2340722, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. June 3, 2005), aff'd, 314 F. App'x (2d Cir. 2009) (Courts in this Circuit have consistently held that any attack on a judgment of foreclosure is clearly barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine) (citations omitted). As a result, the Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to show a likelihood of success or sufficiently serious questions as to the merits to warrant emergency relief. Further, Plaintiff includes no facts or dates in his papers that would allow this Court to find a threat of irreparable harm.The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this Electronic Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is DENIED for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45, 82 S. Ct. 917, 8 L. Ed. 2d 21 (1962). The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail a copy of this Electronic Order to the pro se Plaintiff. Ordered by Judge Joanna Seybert on 6/20/2019. (Alessi, Samantha)
