PER CURIAM.
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (SWB) appeals from the grant of
Charter Communications, Inc.'s request for a preliminary injunction against certain
advertising of SWB claimed to be in violation of the Lanham Act and state law.

court * correctly granted the requested injunction pending trial on the merits. Because
the parties' submissions show they are thoroughly familiar with the issues before the
court, we believe an extensive discussion is not warranted. Having reviewed SWB's
contentions of reversible error and abuse of discretion, we affirm for the reasons
explained in the district court's thorough opinion and remand to the district court for
further proceedings.
