AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART.
Before DONALD RUSSELL, WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Aaron Holsey appeals the district court's decision denying Holsey's requests for a temporary restraining order, for a preliminary injunction, for a protective order, and for a show cause order. Holsey's motions were filed in an attempt to avoid his transfer to the Maryland House of Corrections and, after his transfer to that facility, to effect a transfer to another facility. Holsey stated that he had enemies at the House of Corrections. However, prison officials informed the court that Holsey was housed on protective custody and that those inmates whom Holsey had named as enemies had no physical contact with Holsey.
With respect to the denial of the restraining order, we are without jurisdiction to consider the matter. See 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 injunctive relief was not an abuse of discretion. See Wetzel v. Edwards, 635 F.2d 283, 286 (4th Cir. 1980).
Accordingly, as our review of the record and other materials before us reveals that it would not significantly aid the decisional process, we dispense with oral argument. The emergency request for injunctive relief is denied, and the appeal is affirmed in part and dismissed in part.
