Barton J. Adams, Plaintiff-appellant, v. State of Hawaii, State of Hawaii Department of Commerce Andconsumer Affairs, Defendants-appellees, 122 F.3d 1069 (9th Cir. 1997)
Annotate this CaseAppeal from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii Samuel P. King, Senior District Judge, Presiding.
Before SCHROEDER, FERNANDEZ and RYMER, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM*
This appeal from the district court's order denying appellant's motion for preliminary injunction 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.
Our sole inquiry is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying preliminary injunctive relief. See Gregorio T. v. Wilson, 59 F.3d 1002, 1004-05 (9th Cir. 1995). The record before us shows that the court did not rely on an erroneous legal premise or abuse its discretion in concluding that appellant had failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits or the existence of irreparable harm to appellant and in denying preliminary injunctive relief. See id. The court's factual findings and application of legal standards are not clearly erroneous. See id. Accordingly, the court's order denying the preliminary injunction is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
