Because the pendency of the interlocutory appeal from the district court’s judgment denying the preliminary injunction did not divest the district court of jurisdiction to proceed with other aspects of the case, 1 that court did not act improperly in considering the plaintiff’s petition for a permanent injunction. For the reasons given in Railway Labor Executives’ Association v. City of Galveston, 897 F.2d 164 (5th *482 Cir. 1990), we affirm the district courts judgment denying that petition.
