A temporary restraining order may be granted without written\n\nor oral notice to the adverse party or the attorney for the adverse\n\nparty only if:\n\n1.

The attorney for the applicant certifies to the court in\n\nwriting the efforts, if any, which have been made to give the notice\n\nand the reasons supporting the claim that notice should not be\n\nrequired; and the court determines that the efforts of the applicant\n\nto give notice, if any, were reasonable under the circumstances.\n\nC.
