Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Colorado

Your Honor:

Can the plaintiff still, in any legal way whatsover, receive a permanent restraining order if there was zero continuance of e-mails/phone calls to the four parties, plaintiff, involved after the temporary restraining order was issued and continued?

I don't want a County Jail sentence hanging over my head, unforeseen, and would appeal the continuance of the temporary restraining order if the plaintiff had zero legal ground to stand on. Is it at all possible that a temporary restraining order can become permanent if the defendant absolutely ceased contact during the period in which the temporary order was valid?

Can I appeal your ruling?

You have posted a question on a legal advice board. You have not sent a question to any judge.

It is certainly possible for a temporary restraining order to be made permanent, especially if you don't appear at the hearing set to determine whether it will be made permanent. Whether this actually happened in your case (or will happen if the hearing has not yet been held) is impossible to know without reviewing your actual court record.

If you went to hearing, opposed making the restraining order permanent, and lost - you might be able to appeal this decision. However, it will not be inexpensive to do so and you cannot hope to win without hiring a lawyer to represent you. If that is what you are facing, you need to hire an attorney.
