Ryan Seacrest - Seacrest Granted Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker

RYAN SEACREST has won a temporary restraining order against a man accused of stalking him with a knife.

The TV and radio host's lawyers headed to court just hours after Chidi Uzomah was arrested wielding a knife outside Seacrest's Los Angeles offices on Friday (30Oct09).

It's the third time Uzomah has attempted to make contact with the star.

Last month (Sep09) he was convicted of three misdemeanours after fighting with Seacrest's bodyguard at a California hospital. He was also seen looking for Seacrest at a Burbank radio station the same month.

According to TMZ.com, Seacrest's lawyer Blair Berk made the swift decision so Uzomah could be served the order while he's still being interrogated by cops on felony stalking charges.

Under the terms of the temporary restraining order he must stay 100 yards away from Seacrest, his home, job and vehicle.

The order is the second granted by LA authorities in just hours, after Nicole Richie sought similar measures to protect her from two paparazzi photographers accused of crashing their car into her earlier this month (Oct09).
