MEMORANDUM*


2
This preliminary injunction appeal comes to us for review under Ninth Circuit Rule 3-3.  We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), and we affirm.


3
Our inquiry is limited to whether the district court has abused its discretion or based its decision on an erroneous legal standard or on clearly erroneous findings of fact.  See Does 1-5 v. Chandler, 83 F.3d 1150, 1152 (9th Cir.1996).


4
The record before us shows that the district court did not rely upon an erroneous legal premise or abuse its discretion in granting appellees' motion for a preliminary injunction and in denying appellant's motion for a preliminary injunction.  See id.;   see also Sports Form, Inc. v. United Press Int'l, Inc., 686 F.2d 750, 753 (9th Cir.1982) (stating legal standards governing issuance of preliminary injunction).  Moreover, the district court's factual findings are not clearly erroneous.  See Chandler, 83 F.3d at 1152.


5
Accordingly, the district court's order of March 28, 1997 is AFFIRMED.1



**
 The panel unanimously agrees that this case is appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 34(a) and Ninth Cir.R. 34-4.  Accordingly, appellant's request for oral argument is denied


*
 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Cir.R. 36-3
