The answer is clearly no. Like in Granny Goose Foods, the time gap between the court’s decision to grant Plaintiff’s Motion for Entry of a Preliminary Injunction and the delivery of Notice of this motion for Defendant was less than two days. In addition, Defendant’s counsel was just retained on May 20, 2024, and no sufficient time was provided for him to gather and digest necessary information of the case. It was extremely challenging for both Defendant and its counsel to prepare for an opposition to this motion within such short period of time. Moreover, both the Defendant and its counsel had already established an expectation based on the received Notice of Case Motion that a hearing would be held on May 23 for presentation of the Motion for Entry of a Preliminary Injunction, and this expectation was completely shattered when they received the court’s order on May 22.
