MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

ROBERT SWEET, District Judge

Plaintiff Yehudah Leib Wechsler ("Plaintiff" or "Wechsler") has filed, on September 4, 2007, a "Motion for Judicial Intervention to Curtail Defendant's Bid to Foster Only a Hostile Work Atmosphere for Plaintiff." The motion seeks unspecified injunctive and declaratory relief based on the alleged failure of defendant Orthodox Union ("Defendant") to timely supply letters of certification to the restaurant at which Plaintiff serves as a kosher kitchen supervisor, or Mashgiash.

In order to obtain a preliminary injunction, a party must demonstrate

(1) that he or she will suffer irreparable harm absent injunctive relief, and (2) either (a) that he or she is likely to succeed on the merits, or (b) that there are sufficiently serious questions going to the merits to make them a fair ground for litigation, and that the balance of hardships tips decidedly in favor of the moving party.

Moore v. Consol. Edison Co. of N.Y., Inc., 409 F.3d 506, 510 (2d Cir. 2005) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

Here, Plaintiff has failed to submit evidence or authorities demonstrating that he would suffer irreparable harm, establishing a likelihood of success on the merits, or showing any particular hardship necessitating immediate action by the Court.

Plaintiff's motion is denied.

It is so ordered.
