MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 19-56491
Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse
of discretion. Jackson v. City & County of San Francisco, 746 F.3d 953, 958 (9th
Cir. 2014). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Wahid’s motion for
a preliminary injunction because Wahid failed to demonstrate that such relief is
warranted. See id. (plaintiff seeking preliminary injunction must establish that he
is likely to succeed on the merits, likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of
preliminary relief, the balance of equities tips in his favor, and an injunction is in
the public interest).
Wahid’s pending motions are denied.
AFFIRMED.
