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).
