TROs and Preliminary Injunctions |
The Court strictly adheres to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 and Eastern District of Michigan Local Rule 65.1.
Parties should notify the case manager by telephone upon filing a motion for a temporary restraining order. The Court rarely grants a temporary restraining order without notice to the opposing party. See also Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1).
Parties should also notify the case manager by telephone upon filing of a motion for preliminary injunction. The Court will typically hold a status conference very soon after receiving notice of a preliminary injunction motion to arrange a briefing schedule and hearing date. The Court will then typically issue a scheduling order similar to the sample order below.
