Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California James Donato, District Judge, Presiding

Argued and Submitted March 31, 2023 San Francisco, California

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. Before: GOULD and IKUTA, Circuit Judges, and SELNA,** District Judge.

Roe 1 (“Roe”) seeks to appeal the district court’s April 19, 2022 order “to

the extent” that it denied her motion to vacate the district court’s October 5, 2020

order (“Order”), which restrains Roe from disclosing John Doe’s (“Doe”) identity.

We dismiss this appeal as moot.

Because we construe the Order as a temporary restraining order, the Order

expired on October 19, 2020. See FED. R. CIV. P. 65(b). The Order was a

temporary restraining order because it was issued ex parte and “specifically”

enjoined Roe and third parties from publishing Doe’s identity. FED. R. CIV. P.

65(d)(1). It cannot be considered a preliminary injunction because the district

court did not provide notice to the adverse parties or hold an adversary hearing.

FED. R. CIV. P. 65(a). But cf. Sampson v. Murray, 415 U.S. 61, 87 (1974).

Because the district court never extended the temporary restraining order on the

record, it expired within fourteen days. See FED. R. CIV. P. 65(b)(2). Thus, the

expiration of the Order renders this appeal moot. See, e.g., Where Do We Go

Berkeley v. Cal. Dep’t of Transp., 32 F.4th 852, 857 (9th Cir. 2022).

DISMISSED AS MOOT.
