Judge Sets April Hearing on Nia Long’s Request for Protection From Alleged Stalker

The case tests how courts weigh immediate safety claims against due process.

Overview

  • Nia Long has filed for a restraining order against a woman she identifies as Carrie McDonald.
  • A judge denied an immediate order and scheduled an April hearing where both sides can present evidence.
  • Police arrested the woman after a recent incident in which Long says her doorbell was rung at her Los Angeles home.
  • Long’s filing describes more than two years of unwanted contact, including cards, flowers, gifts, and repeated doorstep visits.
  • She is asking the court to extend any protection to her two children and her mother, and media accounts cite details from court documents obtained by TMZ.
