MEMORANDUM**

2
This appeal from the district court's order granting appellees' motion for preliminary injunction 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 sole inquiry is whether the district court abused its discretion in granting preliminary injunctive relief.   See Gregorio T. v. Wilson, 59 F.3d 1002, 1004-05 (9th Cir.1995).  The record before us shows that the court did not rely on an erroneous legal premise or abuse its discretion in concluding that appellees had demonstrated the existence of serious legal questions and that the balance of hardships tipped in favor of appellees and in granting preliminary injunctive relief.  See id.   The court's factual findings and application of legal standards are not clearly erroneous.  See id.   Accordingly, the court's order granting the preliminary injunction is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
