MEMORANDUM*

2
This preliminary injunction appeal 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.

3
Our inquiry is limited to whether the district court has abused its discretion in granting the preliminary injunction or based its decision on an erroneous legal standard or on clearly erroneous findings of fact.  See Does 1-5 v. Chandler, 83 F.3d 1150, 1152 (9th Cir.1996).

4
The record before us shows that the district court did not rely upon an erroneous legal premise or abuse its discretion by concluding that appellee's showing of probable success on the merits and the possibility of irreparable injury was sufficient to warrant the preliminary injunctive relief.  See id.;   see also Sports Form, Inc. v. United Press Int'l, Inc., 686 F.2d 750, 753 (9th Cir.1982) (stating legal standards governing issuance of preliminary injunction).  Moreover, the court's factual findings are not clearly erroneous.  See Chandler, 83 F.3d at 1152.

5
Accordingly, the district court's grant of a preliminary injunction is AFFIRMED.

**
 The panel unanimously agrees that this case is appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 34(a) and Ninth Cir.R. 34-4

 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Cir.R. 36-3
