MEMORANDUM** 

RMC International, Ltd., appeals from a preliminary injunction prohibiting it from selling certain kerosene heaters and kerosene heater packaging pursuant to section 43 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125. This court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a) (1). We review the district court's grant of the preliminary injunction for an abuse of discretion. Sports Form, Inc. v. United Press International, Inc., 686 F.2d 750, 752-53 (9th Cir. 1982).

The district court properly found that appellee demonstrated a combination of probable success on the merits and the possibility of irreparable injury. Rent-a-Center v. Canyon Television & Appliance, 944 F.2d 597, 602 (9th Cir. 1991). We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in issuing the preliminary injunction, and AFFIRM.
