MEMORANDUM**

2

This appeal from the denial of a motion for a preliminary injunction comes to us for review under Ninth Circuit Rule 3-3. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), and we affirm.

3

Our sole inquiry is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying preliminary injunctive relief. See Gregorio T. v. Wilson, 59 F.3d 1002, 1004-05 (9th Cir.1995). The record before us shows that the court did not rely on an erroneous legal premise or clearly erroneous findings of fact. See id. The court did not, moreover, abuse its discretion in concluding that appellant's showing of probable success on the merits, compared to the balance of hardships, was insufficient to warrant preliminary injunctive relief. See id. Accordingly, the denial of a preliminary injunction is

AFFIRMED.1
