The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
court’s order denying his motions for injunctive relief in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse of discretion,
Puente Ariz. v. Arpaio, 821 F.3d 1098, 1103 (9th Cir. 2016), and we affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Pember’s motions
for a preliminary injunction because Pember failed to establish that he was likely to
suffer irreparable harm. See Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20
(2008) (listing factors for district court to consider in evaluating a motion for a
preliminary injunction).
We do not consider Pember’s contentions regarding his January 30, 2019
motion for a preliminary injunction or the merits of his underlying complaint
because those issues are outside the scope of this appeal.
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued
in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
Pember’s request for judicial notice, set forth in his reply brief, is denied.
Pember’s motion to consolidate (Docket Entry No. 11) is denied as moot.
AFFIRMED.
