Opinion:
ORDER
Before KENNEDY, PREGERSON and NELSON, Circuit Judges.
Appellants' emergency motion for stay pending appeal is denied.
Appellants have failed to make a showing of probability of success on the merits. The balance of hardship favor the plaintiffs and the public interest supports denial of a stay. The district court did not abuse its discretion in granting a preliminary injunction.
KENNEDY, Circuit Judge, would grant the stay and may file a separate dissent.
