10 Plaintiff, ORDER RE PRELIMINARY 11 v. INJUNCTION

12 CITI MORTGAGE, INC., et al., Defendants. 13

14 15 The Court entered a temporary restraining order against defendant Dyck O’Neal barring 16 sale or foreclosure of plaintiff Lenora Brown’s residence, because she “raised a serious question 17 on the merits of Dyck O’Neal’s interest in her residence,” and “the balance of hardships tips 18 heavily in her favor.” Dkt. No. 15 (citing Pangea Legal Servs. v. U.S. Dep’t of Homeland Sec., 19

, 972 (N.D. Cal. 2021)). The Court directed Dyck to show cause by 20 December 1, 2023, why a preliminary injunction should not issue. See

More than 10 days 21 have passed since that deadline, and Dyck has not filed any response or otherwise communicated 22 with the Court. 23 Dyck has not proffered any facts in response to Brown’s showing that she is entitled to 24 injunctive relief for the reasons stated in the TRO. Consequently, Dyck and its agents, assigns, 25 representatives, attorneys, and all others acting in concert with it, are enjoined pending further 26 order from selling, foreclosing, encumbering, or affecting title of Brown’s residence, located at 27 473 Kennwood Dr., Ukiah, CA 95482. Brown is not required to post a bond under Federal Rule 1 harm from maintaining the status quo pending a resolution on the merits. See Jorgensen v. 2 || Cassiday,

(9th Cir. 2003). 3 IT IS SO ORDERED. 4 Dated: December 15, 2023 5 6 JAMES JPONATO 7 United tates District Judge 8 9 10 11 12
