MEMORANDUM**

RMC International, Ltd., appeals from a preliminary injunction prohibiting it from selling certain kerosene heaters and kerosene heater packaging pursuant to section 43 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1125.  This court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(a)(1).  We review the district court's grant of the preliminary injunction for an abuse of discretion.   Sports Form, Inc. v. United Press International, Inc., 686 F.2d 750, 752-53 (9th Cir.1982).

Canyon Television & Appliance, 944 F.2d 597, 602 (9th Cir.1991).  We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in issuing the preliminary injunction, and AFFIRM.
