Plaintiffs, §
§
v. § CIV. CASE NO. __________

CITY OF DALLAS, TEXAS, §

Defendant. §
PROPOSED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
ON THIS DAY CAME TO BE HEARD, the Application for Temporary Restraining Order
and Temporary Injunction (“Application”) filed by Plaintiff YVETTE “WILL RAP 4 WEED”
GBALAZEH, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated (collectively, “Plaintiff”),
seeking temporary orders against CITY OF DALLAS, TEXAS (“Defendant”) to preserve the
status quo through nonenforcement of the challenged ordinance, Dallas Municipal Ordinance
Section 31-35(c) (the “Free Speech Ban”), pending the full adjudication of the above-styled and
numbered case on its merits and the entry of a final order resolving the same.
The Court, after having heard and considered the evidence, finds that there exists good
cause for granting the Application. Accordingly, the Application for Temporary Restraining Order
is GRANTED.
With respect to Contestant’s claims, the Court finds that there is good cause to believe
Defendant has engaged in and is likely to engage in enforcement of the Free Speech Ban during the
pending case.
The Court finds from the evidence that unless Defendant is immediately restrained from the
acts prohibited below, Defendant will continue to commit such acts before notice can be given and
a hearing can be held on Plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiff will suffer
immediate and irreparable injury, loss, and damage insofar as there is no effective relief that could
be fashioned to redress the continued violation of Plaintiff’s constitutional rights. This injury is
irreparable because of the difficulty or impossibility of placing a value on those constitutional
rights once they are so infringed. Further, this Order is being granted without notice because it is
necessary to immediately preserve the status quo while the case is pending. This Order is also
being granted without notice because it requires merely that Defendant refrain from making any
arrests or issuing any citations under a law that is subject to constitutional challenge and strict
scrutiny review, and as a result is rendered presumptively unconstitutional until Defendant meets
its burden of proving at trial that the law is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental
interest. Further, this Order is in the best interests of all parties to preserve the status quo until the
case is resolved. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that:
Defendant City of Dallas and its officers, agents, servants, employees, and any other person
or entity in active concert or participation with Defendant—whether acting directly or through any
corporation, company, partnership, trust, entity, subsidiary, division, or other device—who receive
actual notice of this Order by personal service or otherwise, are hereby prohibited from any acts or
practices that would result in the arrest or citation of any person under the Free Speech ban during
the pendency of this case until a final order is entered fully resolving the matter.
2
The Court further finds that this Temporary Restraining Order may be issued without bond
posted by Plaintiff. The Court issues this Temporary Restraining Order for the period of fourteen
(14) days from its entry and this Order shall expire by its own terms within such time after entry.
A hearing on Plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction will follow at
______________ a.m. / p.m. on the ______ day of _____________________.
SIGNED this ______ day of _____________________, 2018.
