OPINION
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant appeals from a district court order that denied his "Motion for Temporary Restraining Order" in which he requested that the court order that none of the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1988) be permitted to discuss the action with him or to harass him.  To the extent that the court considered the motion one for a temporary restraining order, the appeal is interlocutory.   See Sampson v. Murray, 415 U.S. 61 (1974);   Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026 (4th Cir.1976).  The court, however, apparently considered the motion as one for preliminary injunctive relief, the denial of which this Court reviews for abuse of discretion.   Blackwelder Furniture Co. v. Seilig Mfg. Co., 550 F.2d 189, 358 (4th Cir.1977).  Since we find that the court properly balanced the Blackwelder factors in denying such relief, we find no abuse of discretion and affirm the district court's order.

AFFIRMED
