ORDER denying 5 Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. As Plaintiff acknowledges, temporary restraining orders may only issue where it is necessary to preserve the status quo and the relative positions of the parties until a trial on the merits can be held. Given Plaintiff's representation that the District of Massachusetts has already issued a nationwide injunction prohibiting the conduct at issue in this case, there is no need for additional injunctive relief at this time. However, to the extent injunctive relief may be warranted at a future time, I will treat the motion as one for a preliminary injunction pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a). Plaintiff must, as soon as possible but no later than 05:00 PM on 4/3/2025, serve each defendant with (1) a summons; (2) a copy of the motion, Dkt. 5, and all exhibits thereto; and (3) a copy of this Order in accordance with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4. Plaintiff must promptly file proof of such service in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(l)(1).The defendants must respond to the motion by 4/9/2025, and Plaintiff may file a reply in support of the motion by 4/16/2025.The parties must submit all pertinent exhibits and direct witness testimony (by affidavit or declaration) as attachments to their briefs. After reviewing the defendant's responses and Plaintiff's reply, if any, the Court will determine whether to (a) set a preliminary-injunction hearing, (b) request supplemental briefing from the parties on specific legal or factual questions, or (c) decide the motion on the papers submitted. Live testimony at the preliminary-injunction hearing, if one is held, will be limited to cross-examination and redirect examination. SO ORDERED by Judge Daniel D. Domenico on 4/2/2025.

ORDER DIRECTING REASSIGNMENT This matter is before me on the Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction [# 5 ]1 filed April 2, 2025. I find the issues raised in the motion specified above to be sufficiently intertwined with the merits of the underlying controversy to suggest that the AP judge should refrain from resolving those issues to avoid binding the merits judge to a ruling which he or she may view differently. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the clerk shall assign this case to a judge for resolution on the merits under the random assignment procedure of D.C.COLO.LCiv.R 40.1. By Judge Robert E. Blackburn on 4/2/2025. Case randomly reassigned to Judge Daniel D. Domenico and drawn to Judge Timothy P O'Hara for all further proceedings. Judge Robert E. Blackburn no longer assigned to case (norlin, ) (Entered: 04/02/2025)
