This extension, if and when it occurs, is technically a conversion of the TRO to an enforceable preliminary injunction subject to appellate review. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 844-45 (7th Cir. 2012) (holding that a district court may extend the duration of a TRO beyond the statutory limit and without consent of the enjoined party until it reaches a decision on a preliminary injunction by technically converting the TRO into an enforceable preliminary injunction subject to appellate review).Mailed notice
