TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HARASSMENT Based upon the attached Petition for Ex Parte Temporary Restraining Order and Declaration of Petitioner(s) and pursuant to Hawai`i Revised Statutes §604-10.5, the Court finds there is probable cause to believe: Recent or past acts of harassment by Respondent(s) have occurred. Threats of harassment by Respondent(s) make it probable that acts of harassment may be imminent against Petitioner(s). It appears to the Court that a Temporary Restraining Order should be granted and is necessary to prevent acts of harassment. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Respondent(s) shall appear before the Judge in the above-entitled proceeding at the date, time and place indicated in the Notice of Hearing below. Pending the hearing on this Petition, Respondent(s) is/are ordered as follows. TO THE RESPONDENT: YOU AND ANYONE ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF ARE ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
Do not contact, threaten, or physically harass Petitioner(s) and any person(s) residing at Petitioner(s)' residence Do not telephone Petitioner(s) Do not enter or visit Petitioner(s)' residence, including yard and garage, and place of employment. Pursuant to HAWAI`I REVISED STATUTES §134-7, you shall not possess or control any firearm(s) and/or ammunition for the duration of this Temporary Restraining Order. You shall immediately turn over for safekeeping all firearms and/or ammunition in your possession and control to the Hawai`i County Police Department (any District Police Station in Hawai`i County), for the duration of this Order or any extensions thereof. This Order becomes effective upon its signing and filing and shall remain in effect for fifteen (15) days, unless extended or terminated by the Court.
ANY KNOWING OR INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF THIS TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HARASSMENT IS A MISDEMEANOR PUNISHABLE BY A JAIL SENTENCE OF UP TO ONE YEAR AND/OR UP TO A $2,000 FINE.
