8 Plaintiffs, ORDER DISSOLVING NOVEMBER 16, 9 v. 2022 TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 10 CITY OF SAN JOSE, et al., Re: Dkt. No. 11 Defendants. 11
12 13 On November 16, 2022, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining 14 order (“TRO”) without notice to Defendants and without giving Defendants the opportunity to 15 respond. (Dkt. No. 11.) Defendants later filed an opposition and the Court held a hearing on the 16 motion on November 29, 2022, during which Defendants, Plaintiffs in this case, and Plaintiffs in 17 the now-consolidated Cummings case (formerly No. 22-cv-07481-JST) were heard. 18 In light of Defendants’ evidence, the TRO is dissolved. Defendants’ evidence shows they 19 provided Plaintiffs notice of the Columbus Park encampment abatement. Under the abatement 20 plan, residents can sign up for housing and other services (as many Plaintiffs have already done); 21 receive a placard to allow them to continue living in their vehicles in the park or adjacent paved 22 areas until housing is available; and put their personal belongings in storage for up to 90 days. As 23 such, Plaintiffs have not shown they are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims or that they 24 are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of the TRO. See Winter v.
