Larry Porchia v. James Dzurenda, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Nevada denied Larry Porchia’s motion for a temporary restraining order concerning alleged deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. The court found no current likelihood of irreparable harm because Porchia had been transferred to another facility, where he was receiving medical care, medications, testing approvals, and cardiology follow-up. The court also granted the defendants’ motion to extend time.

Holdings

1. A temporary restraining order was not warranted because Porchia no longer demonstrated a likelihood of irreparable harm based on the undisputed evidence of his medical care after transfer.
2. Defendants' motion to extend time was granted.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Porchia was entitled to a temporary restraining order based on alleged deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs.
