No. 20-35915

Decided: April 27, 2021

Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, TASHIMA and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.

Roland Ma, Pro Se Jessica Ann Beers, Ketia Berry Wick, Favros Law, Seattle, WA, Amanda K.

MEMORANDUM **

Roland Ma appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his motion for injunctive relief in his action alleging he was wrongfully suspended from a student internship and disenrolled from courses. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We review for an abuse of discretion, Puente Ariz. v. Arpaio, 821 F.3d 1098, 1103 (9th Cir. 2016), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Ma's request for a preliminary injunction because Ma failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits of his claims. See Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, 555 U.S. 7, 20, 24, 129 S.Ct. 365, 172 L.Ed.2d 249 (2008) (listing the requirements for the issuance of a preliminary injunction).

AFFIRMED.
