Jessica Garvin v. Mariah Shelton

The plaintiff filed a complaint for a restraining order against the defendant, the wife of the
plaintiff’s ex-husband. The plaintiff sought a restraining order because the defendant
requested to “add” or “friend” plaintiff’s co-workers and manager on certain social media
applications. The trial court entered an ex parte temporary restraining order and, after
conducting a hearing, extended the temporary restraining order for one year. Following
our review of the record, we conclude that the plaintiff presented insufficient evidence to
establish that she would suffer immediate and irreparable harm absent a restraining order
against the defendant or any other facts that would otherwise constitute a cause of action.
We therefore reverse and vacate the one-year restraining order.
