The process
server whose arm was reportedly broken by SEIU-UHW President Dave Regan has requested a restraining
order against Regan in Contra Costa County (Calif.) Superior Court, according
to court records.
The process
server filed the "Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Order" on
February 29, 2016.
Apparently, Regan has already been hit with a temporary restraining order, or "TRO."
Earlier this
week, Regan was supposed to appear in front of a judge to respond to the legal
action, but instead sent a "representative" in his place.
According to a source who attended the hearing, Regan's representative told the
judge he was authorized to enter into mediation with the process server on
Regan's behalf. The judge then
instructed the two sides to leave the courtroom and begin mediation to see if they could amicably resolve the issue.
Apparently,
the mediation was unsuccessful.
Later that
day, the process server asked the court to re-issue a temporary restraining
order (TRO) against Regan. The judge also scheduled a hearing for April 18 to consider
the process server's request for an ongoing restraining order against Regan.
This legal process
follows a violent incident in which Regan
pushed a process server down the stairs of Regan's Kensington, Calif. home,
causing the injuries, according to CBS News.
The process
server was attempting to deliver legal documents to Regan on behalf of the California Hospital Association, which
is engaged in dueling lawsuits
with Regan after Regan reportedly violated a "gag"
clause contained in a secret "partnership" deal with the Hospital Association.
Regan also may face criminal charges for his arm-breaking assault. According to CBS News, the District Attorney is reviewing the incident to determine whether it will file criminal charges against Regan.

When a Kensington police officer responded
to the initial incident at Regan's house, Regan "was aggressive and
tried to intimidate the officer," according
to CBS.
Thus far, the
DA's office has not announced the outcome of its investigation.
In addition to being the president of SEIU-UHW in California, Regan is a Vice President of SEIU International in Washington, DC and serves on SEIU's International Executive Board.
