TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER:

     The purpose of a TRO is to prevent a threatened wrong and to protect the property or rights involved from further injury, until the issues can be determined after a hearing on the merits. Under Section 5, Rule 58 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, a TRO may be issued only if it appears from the facts shown by affidavits or by a verified application that great or irreparable injury would be incurred by an applicant before the writ of preliminary injunction could be heard (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMERS FOR REFORMS, INC.
