7 KEVIN WILLIAM PARKER, NO: 2:25-CV-0439-TOR 8 Plaintiffs, ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 9 v. MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND 10 MICHELLE GHIDOTTI, PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

11 Defendant. 12 BEFORE THE COURT is Plaintiff’s pro se Emergency Motion for 13 Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 3, Motion for 14 Full Consideration of the Pleadings and Evidence, ECF No. 12, and Emergency 15 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Freeze of All Actions on Property, 16 ECF No. 13. This matter was submitted for consideration without oral argument. 17 The Court has reviewed the briefing and the record and files herein, and is fully 18 informed. 19 Plaintiff complains that his property has been foreclosed upon and seeks to 20 stop the foreclosure and sale. 1 DISCUSSION 2 A temporary restraining order (TRO), “like a preliminary injunction, is ‘an

3 extraordinary remedy never awarded as of right.’” M.R. v. Dreyfus, 735 F.3d 4 1058, 1059 (9th Cir. 2011) (quoting Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, 555 U.S. 5 7, 24 (2008)). To prevail on their motion for a TRO, Plaintiff must demonstrate

6 (1) a likelihood of success on the merits, (2) a likelihood of irreparable injury if the 7 injunction does not issue, (3) that a balancing of the hardships weighs in their 8 favor; and (4) that a preliminary injunction will advance the public interest. 9 Winter, 555 U.S. at 20 (citations omitted). To demonstrate that he is entitled to a

10 TRO, Plaintiff must satisfy each element. In evaluating the elements of a 11 preliminary injunction, “a stronger showing of one element may offset a weaker 12 showing of another.” Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127,

13 1131 (9th Cir. 2011). 14 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 65 requires that the Defendant be 15 served and have an opportunity to respond. Plaintiff has not served the Defendant. 16 ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

17 1. Plaintiff’s pro se Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and 18 Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 3, is DENIED. 19 2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Full Consideration of the Pleadings and Evidence,

20 ECF No. 12, is DENIED. 1 3. Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Freeze 2 of All Actions on Property, ECF No. 13. is DENIED. 3 The District Court Executive is hereby directed to enter this Order and furnish a copy to Plaintiff. 5 DATED December 9, 2025. iad 0.
