No. 04-57077.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted June 14, 2005.*

Decided June 17, 2005.

Barry E. Mallen, Esq., Joy T. Teitel, Esq., Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, Los Angeles, CA, for Plaintiffs-Appellees.

Michael R. Blaha, Esq., Law Offices of Michael Blaha, Santa Monica, CA, for Defendants-Appellants.

Before: KLEINFELD, TASHIMA, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM **

Passport International Productions, Inc. appeals the district court’s preliminary injunction against Passport’s distribution, sale, or offering to sell a DVD of a 1976 *117concert by the group KISS. Applying the “limited and deferential” standard of review appropriate for preliminary injunction rulings, Southwest Voter Registration Educ. Project v. Shelley, 344 F.3d 914, 918 (9th Cir.2003) (en banc), we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion or based its decision on an erroneous legal standard or clearly erroneous factual findings in granting the preliminary injunction after concluding that KISS Catalog, Ltd., Gene Klein p/k/a Gene Simmons, and Paul Stanley are likely to succeed on their copyright infringement claim. Playmakers LLC v. ESPN, Inc., 376 F.3d 894, 896-97 (9th Cir.2004) (explaining standard of review).

AFFIRMED.
