Pro se plaintiff, 
 
ORDER 
 
GÓMEZ, J. 
 
Before the Court is the request of the plaintiff, Wilnick 
Dorval, for a temporary restraining order. 
A temporary restraining order may be issued without notice 
to an adverse party or her attorney only if the petitioner avers 
to specific facts in a verified complaint or affidavit “that 
clearly shows that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or 
Case: 3:16-cv-00050-AET-RM   Document #: 110   Filed: 09/09/16   Page 1 of 2

damage will result to the movant before the adverse party can be 
heard in opposition.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(A). Additionally, 
the petitioner must show: (1) a reasonable probability of 
success on the merits; (2) irreparable injury will occur to the 
movant if relief is not granted; (3) less harm will result to 
the non-movant if the relief is granted than to the movant if 
the relief is not granted; and (4) the public interest, if any, 
weighs in favor of the movant. Gerardi v. Pelullo, 16 F.3d 1363, 
1373 (3d Cir. 1994) (describing factors for issuing preliminary 
injunction); see also Bieros v. Nicola, 857 F. Supp. 455, 456 
(E.D. Pa. 1994) (noting that the standards for issuing a 
temporary restraining order are identical to those for the 
issuance of a preliminary injunction). 
   
The premises considered; it is hereby 
 
ORDERED that the motion for a temporary restraining order 
is DENIED.
