The court extended the temporary restraining order, finding that the underlying dispute regarding telephone service should first be resolved by the Railroad & Public Utilities Commission.


Holding

The court extended the temporary restraining order against the defendants, requiring Dovas to post a $1,000 bond, and held that the restraining order should remain in effect until the Railroad & Public Utilities Commission resolved the telephone service issues, without prejudice to either party to resubmit matters raised in the complaint and answers after the commission's ruling.
