The following excerpt is from Hilton Hotels Corp. v. ITT Corp., 116 F.3d 1485 (9th Cir. 1997):
Our inquiry is limited to whether the district court has abused its discretion in denying the preliminary injunction, or has based its decision on an erroneous legal standard. See Does 1-5 v. Chandler, 83 F.3d 1150, 1152 (9th Cir.1996). The record before us shows that the district court did not rely upon an erroneous legal premise or abuse its discretion in concluding that appellants' showing of probable success on the merits was insufficient to warrant preliminary injunctive relief. See id.
Accordingly, the district court's denial of a preliminary injunction is AFFIRMED. 1
