Robert Rosebrock appeals the district court’s denial of his request for
preliminary injunctive relief against Veterans Administration officials in his action
alleging viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), and we affirm.
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. v. United Press Int’l, 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 denying the preliminary injunction.
AFFIRMED.
