UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
CLAUDIA G. COTE, M.D.; DIANE T.
GOWSKI, M.D.; and SALLY B.
ZACHARIAH, M.D.,
Plaintiffs,
v. Case No. 8:07-cv-1524-T-30TBM
R. JAMES NICHOLSON, Secretary,
Department of Veterans Affairs,
Defendant.

ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the Plaintiffs’ Motion for Temporary
Restraining Order (Dkt. 2), and Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Hearing (Dkt. 3).
Plaintiffs seek to enjoin the Bay Pines VA Health Care System from suspending or
terminating the employment of Dr. Diane T. Gowski or Dr. Sally B. Zachariah without
further order of this Court.
Plaintiffs’ counsel has indicated that he has served a copy of the complaint, the motion
for temporary restraining order and memorandum in support thereof, exhibits, a proposed
order, and a motion for preliminary injunction on Defendant’s counsel via email. However,
Defendant has not had the opportunity to respond to Plaintiffs’ Motions or be heard in the
case. The Court, having reviewed Plaintiffs’ Motions, determines that Plaintiffs are not
threatened with irreparable injury so imminent that notice and a hearing on the application

for preliminary injunction is impractical, if not impossible, pursuant to Rule 65(b),
Fed.R.Civ.P., and Local Rule 4.05(b)(2) of the M.D.Fla.
It is therefore ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Temporary Restraining Order (Dkt. 2) is DENIED.
2. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 636(b)(1)(B), Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary
Injunction and Hearing (Dkt. 3) is hereby REFERRED to the Honorable
Thomas B. McCoun, III, who shall submit proposed findings of fact and
recommendation as to the appropriate disposition of the motion.
DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on August 29, 2007.
