               v.                  |

ORDER

In the above-captioned case, the Court is in receipt of the Plaintiffs' Motion for reconsideration of the Court's Denial of the Plaintiffs' Application for a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"), filed on January 11, 1995. The Plaintiffs do not provide any reason why the Court should revisit its determination on January 9, 1995 that the Plaintiffs are not entitled to a temporary restraining order.

Based on the facts as alleged by the Plaintiffs in their Amended Complaint, and in consideration of the hearing held in this matter on January 9, 1995, the Court again finds that the Plaintiffs have failed to meet the requirements for a TRO set forth in Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Commission v. Holiday Tours, Inc., 559 F.2d 841 (D.C. Cir. 1977). The Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate: (1) a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) a threat of immediate and irreparable harm; (3) that the issuance of an injunction would not harm the other parties; and (4)

2

that the issuance of the injunction would not be adverse to the public interest. Id. at 843. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs' Motion for reconsideration of this Court's denial of the Plaintiffs' application for a temporary restraining order must be denied.

Therefore, it is by the Court this 12 day of April, 1995,

ORDERED that the Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration of the Plaintiffs' Application for a temporary Restraining Order shall be, and hereby is, DENIED.
