PER CURIAM.
In this interlocutory appeal, Minnesota inmate “Reverend Beck, Ph.D.”
challenges the district court’s1 denial of his motion for a temporary restraining order
(TRO) and preliminary injunction. We lack jurisdiction to review the denial of a
TRO. See Hamm v. Groose,
15 F.3d 110, 112-13 (8th Cir. 1994). As to the
preliminary injunction, the district court set forth the relevant factors and determined
Beck had not met his burden of showing that a preliminary injunction should issue.
See Dataphase Sys. Inc. v. CL Sys., Inc.,
640 F.2d 109, 113-14 (8th Cir. 1981) (en
banc) (to determine whether preliminary injunctive relief is warranted, court must
balance threat of irreparable harm to movant, harm to nonmoving party should
injunction issue, likelihood of success on merits, and public interest). We conclude
1
The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Franklin
L. Noel, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.

that the court did not abuse its discretion, clearly err in its fact finding, or make an
error of law. See Safety-Kleen Sys., Inc. v. Hennkens,
301 F.3d 931, 935 (8th Cir.
2002). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
