§  6313. Temporary restraining order.  (a) Generally.  If, on a motion
for a preliminary injunction, the plaintiff shall  show  that  immediate
and irreparable injury, loss or damages will result unless the defendant
is restrained before a hearing can be had, a temporary restraining order
may  be  granted  without  notice. Upon granting a temporary restraining
order, the court shall set the hearing for the preliminary injunction at
the earliest possible  time.  No  temporary  restraining  order  may  be
granted  in  an  action  arising  out  of  a labor dispute as defined in
section eight hundred seven of the  labor  law,  nor  against  a  public
officer,  board  or  municipal  corporation of the state to restrain the
performance of statutory duties.

(b) Service. Unless the court orders otherwise, a temporary restraining order together with the papers upon which it was based, and a notice of hearing for the preliminary injunction, shall be personally served in the same manner as a summons.

(c) Undertaking. Prior to the granting of a temporary restraining order the court may, in its discretion, require the plaintiff to give an undertaking in an amount to be fixed by the court, containing terms similar to those set forth in subdivision (b) of rule 6312, and subject to the exception set forth therein.
