OPINION

PER CURIAM:


Aaron Holsey appeals the district court's denial of his motions for preliminary injunctive relief. Our review of the record reveals that the district court correctly applied the factors set forth in Blackwelder Furniture Co. v. Seilig Mfg. Co., 550 F.2d 189 (4th Cir. 1977). We accordingly hold that the denial of Holsey's various requests for preliminary injunctive relief was not an abuse of discretion.

Holsey also appeals the denial of his Motions to Compel Discovery. We dismiss this portion of the appeal as interlocutory.

As our review of the record and other materials before us reveals that it would not aid the decisional process, we dispense with oral argument. We affirm the denial of injunctive relief and dismiss the appeal insofar as it challenges the refusal to compel discovery.

AFFIRMED IN PART AND DISMISSED IN PART.
