We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse of discretion. All. for the Wild Rockies v. Pena, 865 F.3d 1211, 1216-17 (9th Cir. 2017). We affirm. The district court did not err in denying Dang’s motion for a preliminary injunction because Dang did not show that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, or that an injunction is in the public interest. See id. (stating requirements for injunctive relief)1 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). AFFIRMED. 1 We express no opinion on the district court’s conclusion that Dang failed to demonstrate that he was likely to succeed on the merits or that there were serious questions going to the merits of his claims. 2 22-35834
