Per Curiam. We have reviewed the record on appeal with Per Curiam.

care, read the parties' briefs, and entertained oral argument.

We find that the district court's order granting equitable relief

pendente lite is grounded on substantial evidence in the record,

meets the requirements we have laid down for the granting of

preliminary injunctive relief, see, e.g., Narragansett Indian

Tribe v. Guilbert,

(1st Cir. 1991), and does not

appear to represent an unreasonable application of pertinent

legal principles. Consequently, we summarily affirm the order.

The appellants may, of course, raise their factual and legal

arguments anew at the trial on the merits.

Affirmed. Affirmed.
