Executive Summary

A pro se plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order against Wells Fargo over a disputed $2,078.22 deposit was denied. The court found a nine-month delay in seeking relief undermined claims of irreparable harm, and the plaintiff failed to provide notice to Wells Fargo as required. This is a trivial, routine individual dispute with no material impact on Wells Fargo's business or stock.
