MEMORANDUM*

2

This preliminary injunction appeal 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 inquiry is limited to whether the district court has abused its discretion in denying in part appellant's motion for modification of the preliminary injunction issued on April 12, 1996, and in granting appellee's motion for clarification of the same preliminary injunction. 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 abuse its discretion. See id. Accordingly, the district court's order filed January 6, 1997 is AFFIRMED.

**

The panel unanimously agrees that this case is appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Fed. R.App. P. 34(a) and Ninth Cir. R. 34-4

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Cir. R. 36-3
