(1) After the filing of a charge pursuant to
section 24-34-306 (1), the commission or a commissioner designated by the
commission for that purpose may file in the name of the people of the state of
Colorado through the attorney general of the state a petition in the district court of
the county in which the alleged unfair housing practice occurred, or of any county
in which a respondent resides, seeking appropriate injunctive relief against such
respondent, including orders or decrees restraining and enjoining him from selling,
renting, or otherwise making unavailable to the complainant any housing with
respect to which the complaint is made, pending the final determination of
proceedings before the commission under this part 5.

(2) Any injunctive relief granted pursuant to this section shall expire by its
terms within such time after entry, not to exceed sixty days, as the court fixes,
unless within the time so fixed the order, for good cause shown, is extended for a
like period or unless the party against whom the order is directed consents that it
may be extended for a longer period. An affidavit of notice of hearing shall
forthwith be filed in the office of the clerk of the district court wherein said petition
is filed. The procedure for seeking and granting said injunctive relief, including
temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, shall be the procedure
provided in the rules of civil procedure for courts of record in Colorado pertaining to
injunctions, and the district court has power to grant such temporary relief or
restraining orders as it deems just and proper.

(3) The district court shall hear matters on the request for an injunction at
the earliest possible time.

(4) If, upon all the evidence at a hearing, the commission finds that a
respondent has not engaged in any such unfair housing practice, the district court
which has granted temporary relief or restraining orders pursuant to the petition
filed by the commission or commissioner shall dismiss such temporary relief or
restraining orders. Any person filing a charge alleging an unfair housing practice
with the commission, a commissioner, or the attorney general may not thereafter
apply, by himself or herself or by his or her attorney-at-law, directly to the district
court for any further relief under this part 5, except as provided in section 24-34-307.
