Murray v. United States Attorney's Office

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 10 SARA MURRAY, CASE NO. 2:25-cv-00259-LK 11 Plaintiff, MINUTE ORDER 12 v. 13 UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, et al., Defendants.

The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Lauren King, United States District Judge: The Court finds that Plaintiff Sara Murray’s motion styled as a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction does not qualify for emergency treatment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b) or Local Civil Rule 65. Dkt. No. 4. In addition, Ms. Murray failed to comply with Local Civil Rule 65(b)(1), which requires that a motion for a temporary restraining order include a certificate of service and contact information for the opposing party’s counsel. The Court “expects all parties—pro se and those represented by counsel—to comply with the Court’s procedural rules.” Capello v. Sziebert, No. C13-5275BHS-JRC, 2014 WL 2465283, at *1 (W.D. Wash. June 2, 2014).

3 The Court thus DENIES the motion without prejudice. Dkt. No. 4. Should Ms. Murray renew her motion, she should do so in compliance with the applicable rules. The Clerk shall mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff at the address on file.
