1 2 6 7 AMEER ALGHUSAIN, Case No. 20-cv-05175-BLF

8 Plaintiff, ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 9 v. ENTER THE STATE OF OHIO

10 JASON L. NEMETH, et al., [Re: ECF 151] 11 Defendants.

12 13 Pro se Plaintiff Ameer Alghusain has filed a motion seeking this Court’s permission to 14 enter the state of Ohio without fear of being arrested by certain Defendants in this action. See 15 Mot., ECF 151. The Court construes this motion as a request for preliminary injunction. 16 Preliminary injunctive relief is an “extraordinary and drastic remedy,” that is never awarded as of 17 right. Munaf v. Geren, 553 U.S. 674, 689-690 (2008) (internal citations omitted). A plaintiff 18 seeking preliminary injunctive relief must establish “[1] that he is likely to succeed on the merits, 19 [2] that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, [3] that the 20 balance of equities tips in his favor, and [4] that an injunction is in the public interest.” Winter v. 21 Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008).

Further, Mr. Alghusain has provided no evidence or support for the requested relief or 24 authority for the court to enjoin a state order of unknown description. Accordingly, the motion is 26 1 Dated: December 28, 2020 kom Lh ham tn) 2 □□ BETH LABSON FREEMAN 3 United States District Judge 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
