TRO is only effective until earlier of 10/30/17 or when Judge Failla decides Motion for PI. Not appealable now. https://t.co/jPKzIJMtZK

The judge who heard the case was subbing in for the regular judge who is away on vacation, so the restraining order will remain in effect until the returning judge rules on a more forceful preliminary injunction.

So, basically the fill-in judge bought Elliott some time and handed the big decision to Judge Failla when she gets back from vacay.
