    MEMORANDUM in opposition re Motion for protective order, 17 Order on Motion for Temporary Restraining Order

    Filed October 3, 2014

    CONCLUSION Defendants’ Motion should be denied because the only new evidence provided to the Court are declarations alleging threats of litigation. Moreover, the Motion should be Denied because Tison and 18 U.S.C. § 1514 are completely inapposite to the facts of this case. Finally, Defendants have not demonstrated that they can meet the four prong test for a temporary injunction.

    Though Racketeering is a federal crime, and Plainitffs have asserted 34 indictable federal offenses in the VERIFIED COMPLAINT, I cannot agree that this is yet a "criminal case" in the ordinary understanding of that term.

The requested TRO requires that Defendants abandon extra-judicial HARASSMENT AND ABUSE and proceed according to law in this courthouse, which is the exclusive venue with jurisdiction for all claims.

    However, SOX only applies to complaints regarding certain enumerated federal crimes/securities fraud: “section 1341, 1343, 1344, or 1348, any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any provision of Federal law relating to fraud against shareholders.” 18 U.S.C. § 1514(A)(a)(1). A person’s subjective belief that a federal crime/securities fraud has occurred is not enough -- that belief must be objectively reasonable.
