I. BACKGROUND

In her request for a domestic violence restraining order, Maricris stated under penalty of perjury that Rommel had caused her to experience trauma and high blood pressure on December 29, 2023, because “[h]e kept ringing the doorbell constantly after my sister . . . opened the door and told him to leave or we’re calling the police.” Rommel did not stop, so Maricris called the police and the responding officers told Rommel to leave. After Rommel left, he called Maricris five times and left voicemails. Maricris stated that two days later, Rommel followed Maricris to church and spoke to Maricris’s pastor and another church member about Rommel and Maricris’s marital issues.

Following a hearing on February 13, 2024, the trial court issued a restraining order after hearing to protect Maricris and her two dogs, with an expiration date of February 13, 2029.
