MOTION for Preliminary Injunction by SEYMEN CIMENLI filed by STEPHEN E BROWN BENNETT. (Attachments: # 1 Memorandum in Support of Emergency Motion for TRO/Preliminary Injunction). Motion(s) referred to ALFREDA L SHEPPARD.(BROWN BENNETT, STEPHEN). Added MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order on 8/3/2026 (ksl). Notice of Deficiency Multiple reliefs were requested yet only one was selected during filing. The CM/ECF procedures manual provides as follows: "Motions with Multiple Reliefs Requested. When a motion requests multiple or alternative reliefs, it is especially important to select multiple reliefs when filing. For instance, with a combined motion to dismiss and motion to strike, you must select both reliefs to dismiss' and 'to strike. You do this by clicking on each motion relief from the drop-down menu. You cannot select only the motion to dismiss and then type in the text box and motion to strike. It is imperative that all relief categories are specifically selected. The Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system will then track each relief as a separate request for action. This helps the court ensure all matters are properly addressed. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a request for relief not being tracked on the pending motion reports used in case management. No need to re-file, corrected by case manager.
