v. RESTRAINING ORDER
CITY OF OAKLAND, Re: Dkt. No. 4 Defendant.
12 Plaintiffs John Janosko and Jaz Colibri are individuals experiencing homelessness who currently reside at an encampment at 1707 Wood Street in Oakland, California (“the 1707 Encampment”). The City of Oakland, which owns the land upon which the plaintiffs reside, posted “Notice[s] to Vacate Illegal Encampment” on December 22, 2022, stating that the site would be cleared of persons and property beginning on January 9, 2023. The plaintiffs moved for a Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) to enjoin the City from closing the encampment and removing residents and their property. Subsequently, on January 6, 2023, the City posted amended notices stating city workers would be “temporarily” working at the site from January 9 to 13, 2023, and that residents must “temporarily vacate”…
