UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DONGGUAN GUANKUN TRADING CoO., LTD., et al., Plaintiffs, 24-CV-4573 (DEH) v: ORDER THE ESTATE OF BILLY CHEN, et al., Defendants.

DALE E. HO, United States District Judge: On September 11, 2024, Defendant Global Fashion Icon Inc. and non-party Shu Chung “Jerry” Lau (collectively “Defendants”) filed an Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) to stay discovery proceedings. See ECF No. 100, 101. In the Second Circuit, the standard for issuance of a TRO is the same as the standard for a preliminary injunction. See Fairfield Cnty. Med. Ass’n v. United Healthcare of New England,

(D. Conn. 2013), aff'd Fairfield Cnty. Med. Ass’n v. United Healthcare of New England, Inc.,

(2d Cir. 2014). The irreparable harm requirement is the “single most important prerequisite” for a preliminary injunction to issue. Faiveley Transp. Malmo AB v. Wabtec Corp.,

(2d Cir. 2009). Defendants cite no authority in support of their assertions of irreparable harm that would merit entry of a TRO, and the Court finds none. The Court will adjudicate their pending motions to quash, see ECF No. 97, in due course. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close ECF No. 101. SO ORDERED. Dated: September 11, 2024 New York, New York L. ZL United States District Judge
