MISSISSIPPI Part 35

A TRO is effective for not longer than ten days, except in domestic relations cases to which the ten-day limitation does not apply.  The court may “for good cause” extend the effective date of the TRO “for a like period.”  That means that if the original TRO were effective for 5 days, the court may extend it another five, and a TRO originally effective for 10 days could be extended for 10 more days.  The court may also extend the TRO if the party against whom the order is entered consents to the extension.  In any extension, the reasons for the extension must be stated in the order.
