On July 22, 2003, the petitioner, Henry G Carnevale, filed an ex parte request for a restraining order. The court denied the request on an exparte basis and directed the scheduling of a hearing on an expedited basis. The hearing after notice was scheduled this day. The petitioner appeared pro se. The respondent appeared with counsel. Because the petitioner has not satisfied the court that he is likely to prevail on the merits, suffer irreparable harm, or lacks an adequate remedy at law, his request for a restraining order is DENIED.

BRODERICK, C.J. In this action to partition real property, the petitioner, Richard N. Foley, appeals an order of the Rockingham County Probate Court (O’Neill, J.) allowing the respondent, Timothy S. Wheelock, to purchase the subject property after an unsuccessful public auction at a lower price than the court-ordered reserve. Foley also challenges an order requiring him to subsidize Wheelock’s rental of an off-site office during the pendency of the sale. We affirm.
