Aaron Holsey appeals the district court's decision denying Holsey's request for a temporary restraining order and for preliminary injunctions in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. With respect to the denial of the restraining order, we are without jurisdiction to consider the matter. See Commonwealth of Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026, 1029-30 (4th Cir. 1976). After reviewing the record and applying the standard of Blackwelder Furniture Co. v. Seilig Manufacturing Co., 550 F.2d 189 (4th Cir. 1977), we conclude that the court's denial of "any other interim equitable relief," which we construe to mean Holsey's request for a preliminary injunction, was not an abuse of discretion. See Wetzel v. Edwards, 635 F.2d 283, 286 (4th Cir. 1980).

Accordingly, as the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the district court's denial of a preliminary injunction. The appeal of the order denying a temporary restraining order is dismissed.
