ON APPEAL FROM THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE NORTHERN
DISTRICT OF OHIO
BEFORE: GRIFFIN and WHITE, Circuit Judges; and WATSON, District Judge.*
PER CURIAM.
On February 15, 2010, defendant Richard M. Osborne filed a motion to dissolve a
preliminary injunction entered by the district court on April 3, 2009. On March 23, 2010, the district
court denied Osborne’s motion. Osborne now timely appeals. We review a district court’s denial
of a motion to dissolve a preliminary injunction for an abuse of discretion. See Reese v. City of
Columbus, 71 F.3d 619, 622 (6th Cir. 1995); cf. Bazzetta v. McGinnis, 430 F.3d 795, 802 (6th Cir.
2005) (noting that a district court’s denial of a request to dissolve a permanent injunction is reviewed
for an abuse of discretion).
The Honorable Michael H. Watson, United States District Judge for the Southern District*
of Ohio, sitting by designation.

No. 10-3515
LNB Bancorp, Inc. v. Osborne
We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Osborne’s motion
to dissolve the preliminary injunction. After carefully reviewing the record below, the parties’ briefs,
and the arguments contained therein, we are persuaded that the district court properly analyzed the
issue in this case and correctly denied Osborne’s motion. Rather than issue a detailed opinion, which
would serve no useful purpose, we adopt the district court’s reasoning set forth in its order dated
March 23, 2010.
AFFIRMED.
