The following excerpt is from Stephen v. Stevens, 114 F.3d 1195 (9th Cir. 1997):
We reject Stephen's contention that the district court erred in denying his requests for a temporary restraining order against correctional officers that were allegedly harrassing him. Stephen has not shown that the conduct of the officers was unrelated to legitimate penological needs, nor has he demonstrated a threat of irreparable injury requiring injunctive relief. The district court, therefore, correctly denied Stephen's requests. United States v. Nutri-Cology, Inc., 982 F.2d 394, 397 (9th Cir.1992).
