SLINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. v. NEMAK (E.D.Wis. 8-1-2008)

RUDOLPH RANDA, District Judge

The Plaintiff, Slinger Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Slinger") has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order pursuant to Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Slinger indicates it has given notice to counsel for the Defendants.

The standards for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction are identical. Tran v. Kriz, No. 08-C-228, 2008 WL 794546, *6 (E.D. Wis. March 21, 2008). Having considered the submissions of the parties and the file in this matter, the Court concludes that Slinger has not satisfied the criteria for a restraining order. See Woods v. Buss, 496 F.3d 620, 622 (7th Cir. 2007). Therefore, Slinger's motion for a temporary restraining order is denied. The Court will consider the motion as seeking preliminary injunctive relief. The Defendants may e-file a response by Monday August 4, 2008. The Court will conduct a telephonic hearing on the matter on Tuesday, August 5, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. (Central Time).

SO ORDERED.
