JURY TRIAL REQUESTED


Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(b) provides:

A temporary restraining order may be granted without written or oral notice to the adverse party or that party's attorney only if (1) it clearly appears from specific facts shown by affidavit or by the verified complaint that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result to the applicant before the adverse part or that party's attorney can be heard in opposition, and (2) the applicant's attorney certifies to the court in writing the efforts, if any, which have been made to give the notice and the reasons supporting the claim that notice should not be required.

The Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order (docket entry 2) states at page 2 the following:

Accordingly, plaintiffs are GRANTED until tomorrow, APRIL 29, 2005 at 3:00 P.M. to comply with the certification required by Rule 65(b) as to the members of the Board of Trustees listed as defendants.
