E.D. Cal. L.R. 231 — Temporary Restraining Order - Preliminary Injunction: the court's own rule, verbatim from Local Rules of the United States District Court EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA (Effective February 23, 2026), official PDF, sha-custodied. Court-level requirement: applies in every case before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California alongside the federal rules and any judge-specific procedures.
(a) Temporary Restraining Orders. Except in the most extraordinary of circumstances, no temporary restraining order shall be granted in the absence of actual notice to the affected party and/or counsel, by telephone or other means, or a sufficient showing of efforts made to provide notice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b). Appropriate notice would inform the affected party and/or counsel of the intention to seek a temporary restraining order, the date and time for hearing to be requested of the Court, and the nature of the relief to be requested. Once a specific time and location has been set by the Court, the moving party shall promptly give additional notice of the time and location of the hearing. (b) Timing of Motion. In considering a motion for a temporary restraining order, the Court will consider whether the applicant could have sought relief by motion for preliminary injunction at an earlier date without the necessity for seeking last-minute relief by motion for temporary restraining order. Should the Court find that the applicant unduly delayed in seeking injunctive relief, the Court may conclude that the delay constitutes laches or contradicts the applicant's allegations of irreparable injury and may deny the motion solely on either ground. (c) Documents to Be Filed. No hearing on a temporary restraining order will normally be set unless the following documents are provided to the Court and, unless impossible under the circumstances, to the affected parties or their counsel: (1) a complaint; (2) a motion for temporary restraining order; (3) a brief on all relevant legal issues presented by the motion; (4) an affidavit in support of the existence of an irreparable injury; (5) an affidavit detailing the notice or efforts to effect notice to the affected parties or counsel or showing good cause why notice should not be given, see L.R. 142; (6) a proposed temporary restraining order with a provision for a bond, see L.R. 151; (7) a proposed order with blanks for fixing the time and date for hearing a motion for preliminary injunction, the date for the filing of responsive papers, the amount of the bond, if any, and the date and hour of issuance, see L.R. 137; and (8) in all instances in which a temporary restraining order is requested ex parte, the proposed order shall further notify the affected party of the right to apply to the Court for modification or dissolution on two (2) days’ notice or such shorter notice as the Court may allow. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b). (d) Preliminary Injunction. (1) Notice. See L.R. 144, 230. (2) Accompanying Documents. All motions for preliminary injunction shall be accompanied by (i) briefs on all relevant legal issues to be presented by the motion, (ii) affidavits in support of the motion, including affidavits on the question of irreparable injury, and (iii) a proposed order with a provision for a bond. See L.R. 230, 151. (3) Required Information. All parties shall inform the Court in their briefs of the following: (i) whether they desire to present oral testimony at the hearing, and (ii) an estimate of the amount of time they anticipate will be required for the hearing. The parties shall inform the Court and all other parties immediately upon learning of a change in the need for a preliminary injunction, the length of time the hearing will require, or other similar information. (e) Modification or Dissolution. When a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order has been issued, the affected party may apply to the Court for modification or dissolution of the injunction or order. Such motion shall normally be accompanied by a brief on all relevant legal issues to be presented in its support and affidavits supporting modification or dissolution and detailing the notice to or efforts to notify the affected party or counsel. (f) Actions Involving Real Property. A motion for a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order to limit picketing, restrain real property encroachments, or protect easements shall depict by drawings, plot plans, photographs, or other appropriate means, or shall describe in detail the premises involved, including, if applicable, the length and width of the frontage on a street or alley, the width of sidewalks, and the number, size, and location of entrances.
