ORDER DENYING APPELLANTS' EX PARTE EMERGENCY REQUEST FOR A CEASE AND DESIST ORDER FOR IRREPARABLE HARM AND CONVERSION (ECF #18)

MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, District Judge.

On May 21, 2018, Appellants Parks Legacy and Carrie Grant ("Appellants") filed a Notice of Appeal in this Court. (See ECF #1.) Appellants seek to appeal a March 20, 2018, order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the sale procedures for the auction sale of certain collectible memorabilia. (See id. at Pg. ID 2.) The sale of the memorabilia appears to be scheduled for today (July 25, 2018). At approximately 5:00 a.m. this morning, Appellants filed an ex parte emergency request for a cease and desist order to prevent the sale of the memorabilia. (See Emergency Req., ECF #18.) In their request, Appellants ask the Court to take judicial notice of a number of documents attached to a notice Appellants filed on July 24, 2018. (See id. at Pg. ID 375.)

The Court DENIES Appellants' request for a cease and desist order for three reasons. First, Appellants have not given the Court a sufficient opportunity to review their eleventh-hour request. Nor have Appellants offered any justification for the delay in filing this request. The Bankruptcy Court entered the order authorizing the sale about four months ago, and Appellants did not seek to stay that order before filing this request. Second, Appellants ask the Court to take judicial notice of, and to review, a large number of documents outside of the lower court record, but they have failed to make a sufficient showing that the Court may properly consider those materials. Finally, Appellants have failed to cite or meaningfully apply the legal standards governing their request for equitable/injunctive relief. Under these circumstances, the Court cannot properly grant Appellants' request for a cease and desist order.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Appellants' ex parte emergency request for a cease and desist order (ECF #18) is DENIED.
