                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Arizona
                    G. Murray Snow, District Judge, Presiding

                     Argued and Submitted January 13, 2014
                           San Francisco, California

Before: ALARCÓN, TALLMAN, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.

      Prison Legal News appeals the district court’s denial of its motion for a

permanent injunction against the defendants, who operate the Pinal County Jail.

Jurisdiction lies under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) and we review for abuse of

discretion. Cummings v. Connell, 316 F.3d 886, 897 (9th Cir. 2003). Finding

none, we affirm.
      “Perhaps the most significant single component in the judicial decision

whether to exercise equity jurisdiction and grant permanent injunctive relief is the

court's discretion.” Charles Alan Wright et al., 11A Fed. Pract. & Proc. § 2942 &

n.3 (2d ed. 2013) (collecting cases). Here, the district court took the

extraordinarily cautious step of seeking additional briefing and evidence on the

motion before concluding that a permanent injunction was unnecessary. In light

this attention and the extraordinary deference we must show, we cannot find an

abuse of discretion here.

      AFFIRMED
