MEMORANDUM*

2

This appeal from the district court's order denying appellant's motion for preliminary injunction 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 sole inquiry is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying preliminary injunctive relief. See Gregorio T. v. Wilson, 59 F.3d 1002, 1004-05 (9th Cir.1995). The record before us shows that the court did not rely on an erroneous legal premise or abuse its discretion in concluding that appellant could not seek restoration of release credits in the context of a civil rights action. See Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1995). With respect to the remaining relief sought by appellant, the request for injunctive relief is now moot. Accordingly, the court's order denying the preliminary injunction is affirmed. All pending motions are denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.

The panel finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4; 9th Cir.R. 3-3(d)
