United States Ninth Circuit

In a class action by lawful permanent resident aliens residing in Washington state challenging the state's elimination of food assistance to class members while continuing to administer federal food assistance to U.S. citizens and certain qualified aliens, the district court's grant of preliminary injunctive relief to the plaintiffs is reversed, where the district court, in assessing the likelihood of success, abused its discretion by finding that the termination of the state-funded program resulted in an equal protection or due process violation.
