Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, BYE, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________
PER CURIAM.

        Scott Nokes appeals the district court’s1 denial of his request for emergency
relief enjoining a court-martial proceeding during the pendency of proceedings on his
Administrative Procedures Act claim. Having carefully reviewed the record, we
conclude the district court properly denied Nokes a preliminary injunction. See
Schlesinger v. Councilman, 
420 U.S. 738
, 758 (1975) (“when a serviceman charged
with crimes by military authorities can show no harm other than that attendant to
resolution of his case in the military court system, the federal district courts must
refrain from intervention, by way of injunction or otherwise”). Accordingly, we
affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.




      1
      The Honorable David S. Doty, United States District Judge for the District of
Minnesota.
