PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying its

motion for preliminary injunction. We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. We find

that the district court did not clearly err in finding that Ap-

pellants would not likely suffer irreparable injury during the

course of litigating this action.     See Sampson v. Murray, 415 U.S.

61, 90 (1974).   Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the rea-

soning of the district court.     See International Longshoremen’s

Ass’n, Loc. 333, AFL-CIO v. International Longshoremen’s Ass’n,

AFL-CIO No. CA-99-2653 (D. Md. Nov. 2, 1999).       We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
