ORDER denying [21] Letter Motion to Continue.The Court is in receipt of plaintiff's letter, ECF No. 21, requesting a 14-day extension. The letter reveals that as of June 17, 2026, the third-parties had complied with the TRO. However, despite that, the letter does not indicate that plaintiff has complied with its obligation to serve defendant "two (2) days" after the third parties' compliance. Given the advantages provided to the plaintiff in the Order to Show Cause, it is incumbent upon plaintiff to serve defendants with all deliberate speed. Accordingly the request for a full, 14- day extension is denied. The Court will instead extend the TRO until June 30, 2026 at 2:00 P.M. when it will hold a preliminary injunction hearing.
