The 442nd District Court's requirements for emergency temporary restraining orders, temporary ex parte protective orders and writs: e-file the petition or application, supporting affidavit, certificate of ex parte relief and proposed order (the proposed order as its own separate lead document so it reaches the court's queue), wait for the file-marked copies of the first three, then send a courtesy e-mail to the court administrator with the cause number and style, copies of all four documents, and the opposing party or counsel copied only where they have appeared or the certificate requires it; the judge decides how to proceed, and no one appears unless directed.
