April 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER **Having reviewed plaintiffs Ronald G. Wolff, Jr. and Karri E. Wolff's motion for temporary restraining order (dkt. #6 ), the court finds an insufficient basis to grant the requested relief without substantially more factual and legal support. In particular, without discounting that the scope of the warrant is surprisingly broad, without clear direction to those executing it as to what topics or information would fall within its reach (beyond reference to an apparent "honest services" provision in Wisconsin statutes), plaintiffs' argument that the warrant is necessarily void lacks sufficient legal support and analysis. As importantly, plaintiffs' motion fails to address whether matters of judicial comity to ongoing state criminal proceedings, including abstention doctrines, might counsel against federal court intervention, if not preclude it. As such, the motion is DENIED. However, plaintiffs are free to bring a motion for preliminary injunction, complying with this court's # Procedure to be Followed on Motions for Injunctive Relief. Once filed, plaintiffs should also promptly serve defendants with the motion for preliminary injunction and supporting materials. Once served, the court would also entertain briefing on an expedited basis. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 4/1/2022. (arw)
