MINUTE entry before the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr: For the reasons stated in the Memorandum Opinion and Order, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 7 and finds and orders the following: 1. Based upon the briefs and exhibits filed by the parties, the testimony presented at the TRO hearing, and the arguments of counsel in open court, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have sustained their burden of demonstrated some likelihood of success on the merits of their First Amendment claim. The Court also finds that Plaintiffs likely lack an adequate remedy at law and will suffer irreparable harm should a temporary restraining order not be issued. The balance of the hardships additionally weighs in their favor. 2. A ruling on Pullman abstention would be premature at this time, as the Court has examined the likelihood of success on the merits without deciding them. 3. A bond is unnecessary, as the CTA has not indicated that any monetary harm is at stake. 4. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b), a temporary restraining order, commencing at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 2, 2015, and expiring at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 16, 2015, is entered. Pursuant to this order, the CTA, its agents, servants, employees, officers, and attorneys are temporarily restrained from (i) prohibiting Plaintiffs or their members from distributing the flyer depicted in Exhibit A of the complaint (or similar materials) in CTA break rooms and (ii) disciplining or threatening to discipline CTA employees who distribute these materials during the period covered by this order. 5. This case is set for further status hearing on Monday, April 13, 2015, at 10:30 a.m. in Courtroom 1919. [For further details see Memorandum Opinion and Order] Mailed notice (cdh, )
