In New York, this type of substitute motion is called an "Order to Show Cause." An order to show cause can be heard anytime the court directs, even fewer than the usual eight days, and even as short as a few hours later, if the court is convinced there's a real emergency.
To file a motion for contempt in New York, certain criteria must be met. There must be an existing order of the court that is clear and unambiguous, and the accused must be proven to have known about this order and willfully disobeyed it.
Temporary restraining order. (a) Generally. If, on a motion for a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff shall show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damages will result unless the defendant is restrained before a hearing can be had, a temporary restraining order may be granted without notice.
Emergency injunctions are legal pleas for the court to take action to preserve the status quo while the legal process is underway. The idea is that unless the court intervenes, irreparable harm will be done.
Duration of a TRO A TRO typically lasts for 20 days in the Regional Trial Court and 72 hours for an ex parte TRO issued without notifying the opposing party. Within this period, a court hearing will be set to determine whether a preliminary injunction, a longer-lasting remedy, should be issued.
A Subsequent Order Granting or Denying a Motion Seeking to Modify or Cancel the TRO May be Appealable. There are a number of reported cases holding that such orders are, in fact, appealable, which provides a backdoor way to appeal the initial order granting or denying the TRO.
An order of protection can order someone not to injure, threaten or harass you, your family, or any other people listed in the order. For example, it can order someone to: have no contact with you, your family, household members, or your children, regardless of their age (see: Melanie's Law) move out of your home.
Specifically, pursuant to Uniform Rule 202.7 (f), upon an application for an order to show cause that seeks a temporary restraining order, the application must contain an affirmation demonstrating that there will be significant prejudice to the party seeking the restraining order by the giving of notice.
Except as provided in subdivisions (2), (3) and (4), punishment for a contempt, specified in section seven hundred fifty, may be by fine, not exceeding one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment, not exceeding thirty days, in the jail of the county where the court is sitting, or both, in the discretion of the court.
