Text of a temporary restraining order issued by the United States (9th) District Court prohibiting implementation of California’s voter-enacted residency restrictions (2006) because they are on their face, punitive and therefore cannot be retroactively applied to individuals convicted before the law was enacted. States that a temporary order is necessary because allowing enactment pending full hearings would cause irreparable harm to affected individuals. (Note: In a separate ruling, the same court denied a TRO petition in relation to GPS monitoring, on the basis than implementation pending hearings would not cause plaintiffs irreparable harm.)
