This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
San Francisco, California
Before: HUG, SCHROEDER, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
In this interlocutory appeal, Appellants challenge the district court’s denial
of their motion for a preliminary injunction. Reviewing for abuse of discretion, see
Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1131 (9th Cir. 2011), we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court judge. Appellants failed to raise
serious questions on the merits of their claims of violations of the National
Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321, et seq. and the Federal Land Policy
Management Act, 43 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq. See id. at 1132.
AFFIRMED.
