We express no view on the merits of the complaint. Our sole inquiry is
whether the district court abused its discretion in denying preliminary injunctive
relief. The Lands Council v. McNair, 537 F.3d 981, 986 (9th Cir. 2008); see
Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, 129 S. Ct. 365, 374 (2008) (listing
factors for district court to consider); Sports Form, Inc., 686 F.2d 750, 752-53
(9th Cir. 1982) (explaining limited scope of review). We conclude the district
court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
AFFIRMED.
