22-10297               Opinion of the Court                        3

Appellants filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction, which the dis-
trict court denied. See Moms for Liberty–Brevard Cnty., FL v. Bre-
vard Pub. Schs., 582 F. Supp. 3d 1214, 1217 (M.D. Fla. 2022). Ap-
pellants timely appealed.
       After review of the parties’ briefs, and with the benefit of
oral argument, we find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s
thorough, well-reasoned order. See Schultz v. Alabama, 42 F.4th
1298, 1311 (11th Cir. 2022) (“We review a district court’s order
granting or denying a preliminary injunction for abuse of discre-
tion.”). We therefore affirm the district court’s order denying Ap-
pellants’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
      AFFIRMED.
