PER CURIAM:
Cathy G. Lanier and Randy D. Lanier appeal the
district court’s order denying the motion for a temporary
restraining order that they filed in connection with their
action against the Appellees.
To the extent that the Laniers seek to appeal the
district court’s denial of a temporary restraining order, the
denial is not appealable on the circumstances of this case. See
Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026, 1029-30 (4th Cir.
1976). To the extent that the Laniers also sought a preliminary
injunction, we have reviewed the record and conclude that the
district court’s denial of any such request was not an abuse of
its discretion. Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555
U.S. 7, 22 (2008); Dewhurst v. Century Aluminum Co., 649 F.3d
287, 290 (4th Cir. 2011).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as to the request
for a temporary restraining order, and otherwise affirm the
district court’s judgment. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED IN PART;
AFFIRMED IN PART
