Defendant. 	) 	[Resolving ECF No. 14 and ECF No. 15]
The Court considers Plaintiff Michael Izquierdo’s Renewed Motion for a Temporary
Restraining Order (ECF No. 14) and Emergency Motion to Expedite Ruling (ECF No. 15).
Having previously denied his motion for injunctive relief (ECF No. 13 at PageID ##: 308–12)
and granted his motion for electronic filing privileges (ECF No. 13 at PageID #: 312), the Court
denies the instant motions as moot.1 In the alternative, they are denied on the merits for the
following reasons.
First, Plaintiff claims that “the only barrier to . . . accessing life-saving medication is the
Court’s delay.” ECF No. 14 at PageID #: 315 ¶ 6. Again, he misunderstands both the nature of
injunctive relief and the requirements of the preceding order to show cause. See ECF No. 4.
Plaintiff presents ad nauseum a false dilemma: either he receives medical care subsidized by
1 Given Plaintiff’s pro se status, it is probable he received notification that his motion for a
temporary restraining order was denied (ECF No. 13, dated November 19, 2025) prior to mailing
the instant motions to the Clerk of Court (ECF Nos. 14, 15, and 16, filed November 20, 2025).

Defendant, or he receives no medical care at all.2 This is a logical and legal fallacy. The issue
is not whether Plaintiff will sufferable irreparable harm without healthcare. 3Rather, the issue is
whether he will sufferable irreparable harm that can only be avoided by Court-mandated health
insurance from Defendant. The answer is no. See ECF No. 13 at PageID ##: 308–12. To obtain
the healthcare he needs, Plaintiff may find another job, seek insurance coverage on the open
market, maintain his COBRA plan, or pursue other alternatives.4
Second, Plaintiff claims that “[i]n the Court’s November 5 order, Judge Pearson stated:
‘The Court considers the health and safety concerns important . . . Plaintiff must submit
supporting proof.’” ECF No. 15 at PageID #: 333 ¶ 2. This is false as both a substantive
statement and a direct citation. That language does not appear anywhere in the Court’s
preceding orders or communications with Plaintiff. Rather than requesting specific proof of his
medical condition, Plaintiff was ordered to show cause why his case warranted expedited
adjudication. See ECF No. 4 at PageID #: 57. While the Court construes pro se filings liberally
and extends lenience when warranted, there is no tolerance for what is––at best––the
misconstruction of the words of the Court. See U.S. Const. Art. III. Considering this conduct
along with a false, likely hallucinated case citation proffered in an earlier motion,5 Plaintiff is
2 Plaintiff claims that “[t]he only barrier to . . . access life to life-saving medication is the
lack of a ruling.” ECF No. 14 at PageID #: 218.
3 This is plausible, given his voluminous submissions. See ECF Nos. 1, 11, 12, 14,
15, 16. 4 Plaintiff’s “Determination of Benefit Payment Eligibility” prepared by the Ohio
Department of Job and Family Services states “[i]f you are otherwise eligible, you may receive
unemployment benefits,” thus indicating a potential change in Plaintiff’s financial circumstances.
ECF No. 14–1 at PageID #: 329.
5 Plaintiff provided direct citation that “COBRA is not an adequate remedy where a
plaintiff lacks the financial ability to maintain it” in a case captioned as “Whelan v. Colgan Air,

hereby warned that continuing to flood the docket with frivolous motions, oppositions, and
filings will subject him to sanctions––including the assessment of costs, attorneys’ fees, and a
permanent injunction from filing new documents in this dispute or the dismissal of the dispute.
