ORDER DENYING 5 MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order. Signed by Judge Alan D Albright. (cc3)

Text Order DENYING 5 Motion for TRO entered by Judge Alan D Albright. Defendants are a collection of partnerships and unincorporated associations that Plaintiff has identified in Schedule A. A TRO is "a highly accelerated and temporary form of preliminary injunctive relief, which may be granted without notice to the opposing party or parties." Cotton v. Texas Express Pipeline, LLC, 2017 WL 2999430, at *1 (W.D. Tex. Jan. 10, 2017). Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, a court may issue a TRO without written or oral notice to the adverse party only if both of the following requirements are met: (A) specific facts in an affidavit or a verified complaint clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the movant before the adverse party can be heard in opposition; and (B) the movant's attorney certifies in writing any efforts made to give notice and the reasons why it should not be required. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(A)-(B). Having considered Plaintiff's motion, the Court finds that Plaintiff will not suffer irreparable injury and notice is required. Thus, Plaintiff has not satisfied either requirement for the issuance of an ex parte TRO under Rule 65(b)(1). See Cotton, 2017 WL 2999430, at *2 (W.D. Tex. Jan. 10, 2017) (denying Plaintiff's request for ex parte relief for failure to satisfy both requirements of Rule 65(b)). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order is DENIED. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.)

Text Order DENYING 8 Motion for Leave to File Sealed Document entered by Judge Alan D Albright. The Fifth Circuit heavily disfavors the sealing of documents placed on the record due to "the public's right of access to judicial records," which is "a fundamental element of the rule of law." June Med. Servs., L.L.C. v. Phillips, 22 F.4th 512, 519 (5th Cir. 2022). Maintaining transparency through public access to judicial records "serves to promote trustworthiness of the judicial process, to curb judicial abuses, and to provide the public with a more complete understanding of the judicial system, including a better perception of its fairness." Id. Having reviewed Plaintiff's Motion, the Court finds that allowing Plaintiff to file its exhibits and defendant list under seal would not promote the goals of the Fifth Circuit and is outweighed by the public's right of access to judicial records. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion is DENIED. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (ASlc)

Text Order DENYING 7 Motion for Leave to File Sealed Document entered by Judge Alan D Albright. The Fifth Circuit heavily disfavors the sealing of documents placed on the record due to "the public's right of access to judicial records," which is "a fundamental element of the rule of law."

Maintaining transparency through public access to judicial records "serves to promote trustworthiness of the judicial process, to curb judicial abuses, and to provide the public with a more complete understanding of the judicial system, including a better perception of its fairness." Id. Having reviewed Plaintiff's Motion, the Court finds that allowing Plaintiff to file its temporary restraining order under seal would not promote the goals of the Fifth Circuit and is outweighed by the public's right of access to judicial records. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion is DENIED. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (ASlc)
