ORDER

[ECF No. 5]

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

Defendant Adam Ausloos initiated a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration seeking damages against plaintiff Robert Binkele.1 As of June 19, 2019, Ausloos is seeking entry of a default judgment against Binkele in that FINRA arbitration. Binkele moves for a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining the FINRA arbitration and default judgment because the contract underlying Ausloos's claims require that the claims be arbitrated before JAMS, and a default judgment entered in the FINRA arbitration would constitute irreparable harm. ECF No. 5.

Binkele states that he has sent his motion to Ausloos's Wisconsin counsel, and that the parties are set to discuss the motion on June 25, 2019. Id. at 5. Nonetheless, Ausloos has not yet responded to Binkele's motion, and it is inappropriate for me to issue an order ex parte.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that counsel for Binkele shall immediately send this order to Ausloos's counsel by email, prior to the planned June 25 meeting if possible.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respective counsel for Binkele and Ausloos shall provide a status report to this court by 2:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Tuesday June 25, 2019 that discusses the result of their meeting, whether (and if so, when) Ausloos intends to pursue a default judgment in the FINRA arbitration against Binkele, whether an expedited hearing on the TRO motion is needed, and (if so) their availability for a non-evidentiary hearing on the TRO motion of June 25, June 26, and July 1-10.2
