Severson & Werson, P.C. v. Sepehry-Fard

*842*942The trial court issued a workplace violence restraining order under Code of Civil Procedure section 527.8 against appellant Fareed Sepehry-Fard on four days' notice without an accompanying order shortening time.

We will reverse the order accordingly.1
