ORDER
On October 29, 2008, Plaintiff filed an ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order ("TRO"), in which Plaintiff states "[t]his court has an obligation to sign the order to estop the sale of [Plaintiff's home]." (Plaintiff's motion at 2).
To obtain a TRO, Plaintiff must demonstrate "either: (1) a combination of probable success on the merits and the possibility of irreparable harm; or (2) that serious questions are raised and the balance of hardships tips in its favor." A M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., 239 F.3d 1004, 1013 (9th Cir. 2001). "These two formulations represent two points on a sliding scale in which the required degree of irreparable harm increases as the probability of success decreases." Id.
However, Plaintiff has not shown entitlement to a TRO. Therefore, the motion for a TRO is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
