CRAIG ROSS NATALIE OPERSTEIN v. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY (2017)

MEMORANDUM*

Craig Ross and Natalie Operstein appeal pro se from the district court's order denying their application for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in their employment action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of a preliminary injunction and de novo the underlying issues of law. Valle Del Sol Inc. v. Whiting, 709 F.3d 808, 816-17 (9th Cir. 2013). We may affirm on any basis supported by the record. Johnson v. Riverside Healthcare Sys., LP, 534 F.3d 1116, 1121 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

Denial of the preliminary injunction was proper because plaintiffs did not demonstrate that they are entitled to injunctive relief. See Thalheimer v. City of San Diego, 645 F.3d 1109, 1115 (9th Cir. 2011) (“A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest.”).

Defendant's motion to accept a late filing, filed on November 18, 2016, is granted.

All other pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
