Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
Philip S. Gutierrez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted June 26, 2012 **
Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
Appellant Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a corporation, appeals the district court’s
denial of its request for preliminary injunctive relief against appellee Habib
American Bank. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), and we
affirm.
Our sole inquiry is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying
preliminary injunctive relief, and we conclude the district court did not abuse its
discretion. The Lands Council v. McNair, 537 F.3d 981, 986 (9th Cir. 2008); see
Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, 129 S. Ct. 365, 374 (2008) (listing
factors for district court to consider); Sports Form, Inc. v. United Press Int’l,
686 F.2d 750, 752-53 (9th Cir. 1982) (explaining limited scope of review).
AFFIRMED.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
