Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I had a court hearing about a restraining order and was denied the order because the judge said i did not have enough evidence. Although i had a police report as proof for my case, the respondent of this order filed an answer to the order stating a story completely untrue to what had really happened and had two other people who were witnesses of the event that took place write declarations copying their same story. Is there any way i could reopen this case to try to get back the restraining order if i have more evidence and a witness that proves what really happened?

The case is over, and you lost. That is, unless the villain does something new that would justify a new application for a restraining order. Police reports aren't evidence, witnesses are. Next time subpoena the witnesses.
