No. 96-6030.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
Feb. 12, 1997.
Before: MARTIN, Chief Judge; ENGEL and COLE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from a denial of a preliminary injunction that would have prohibited state officials from conducting the August 1, 1996 election of a judge of the Tennessee Supreme Court on an uncontested retention basis.
While many other issues have been raised, the sole question before us is whether the denial of a preliminary injunction constituted an abuse of discretion. We find that it did not.
ACCORDINGLY, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
