UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

JAVED ARSHAD,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 6:23-cv-28-PGB-LHP

SHIKITA PARKER, JEFFREY ASHTON and FAY SERVICING, LLC,

Defendants

ORDER This cause came on for consideration without oral argument on the following motion filed herein: MOTION: RESTRAINING ORDER INJUNCTION TO BLOCK STATE COURT FROM MOVING FORWARD WITH THE FORECLOSURE AND EVICTION WHILE MY MOTION TO CHALLENGE JURISDICTION IS PENDING, AND REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY HEARING ON THE MATTER IN THIS COURT (Doc. No. 2) FILED: January 6, 2023

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED without prejudice. Movant Javed Arshad (“Arshad”), appearing pro se, instituted this matter by complaint filed on January 6, 2023. Doc. No. 1. The same day, Arshad filed the above-styled motion, seeking a “restraining order injunction.” Doc. No. 2. The

motion has been referred to the undersigned, see Doc. No. 6, and has been construed as a request for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. Upon review, the motion is due to be denied without prejudice. First, pursuant to Local Rule 6.01, a motion for temporary restraining order must include:

(1) “Temporary Restraining Order” in the title; (2) a precise and verified description of the conduct and the persons subject to restraint; (3) a precise and verified explanation of the amount and form of the required security; (4) a supporting legal

memorandum; and (5) a proposed order. See Local Rule 6.01(a). See also Local Rule 6.02. Additionally, the required legal memorandum must establish (a) the likelihood that the movant ultimately will prevail on the merits of the claim; (b) the irreparable nature of the threatened injury and the reason that notice is impractical;

(c) the harm that might result absent a restraining order; and (d) the nature and extent of any public interest affected. See Local Rule 6.01(b). See also Local Rule 6.02. Arshad’s motion does not meet each of these requirements. Doc. No. 2.

Second, to obtain a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, a movant must show: (1) a substantial likelihood of success on the merits; (2) an irreparable injury in the absence of the requested injunction; (3) a threatened injury that exceeds any injury to the non-moving party caused by the injunction; and (4) that public policy favors such an order.

of a claim for temporary restraining order, and for failure to comply with Local Rule 6.01 and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65); David Boggs, LLC v. Soltis, No. 6:18-cv- 687-Orl-37GJK,

(11th Cir. 1989) (a pro se litigant “is subject to the relevant law and rules of court, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”), cert. denied,
