MEMORANDUM *
D. REEVES; et al.,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
Sandra M. Snyder, Magistrate Judge, Presiding
Submitted June 26, 2012 **
Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
Plaintiff Robert Gonzalez Saenz appeals pro se the district court’s denial of
his request for preliminary injunctive relief against defendant correctional officer
D. Reeves. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1), and we affirm.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Our sole inquiry is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying
preliminary injunctive relief. 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). We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in
dismissing the motion for a preliminary injunction for lack of standing, because
plaintiff had not alleged any conduct by defendant that warranted injunctive relief.
See Lopez v. Candaele, 630 F.3d 775, 785 (9th Cir. 2010) (requiring plaintiff to
allege an injury in fact, causation, and a likelihood that a favorable decision will
redress the alleged injury).
AFFIRMED.1

Plaintiff’s request in his notice of appeal for a certificate of appealability is
denied as unnecessary.
