In this interlocutory appeal, Arkansas inmate Aaron Flemons appeals the district court’s1 denial of a temporary restraining order (TRO), a preliminary injunction, and an evidentiary hearing in his civil rights action. He also appeals the court’s grant of his motion to consider belated objections. After careful consideration of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction as to the denial of his motion for TRO, see Hamm v. Groose, 15 F.3d 110, 112-13 (8th Cir. 1994), the denial of his motion for an evidentiary hearing, see Livers v. Schenck, 700 F.3d 340, 350 (8th Cir. 2012), and the grant of his motion to consider objections, see United States v. Northshore Mining Co., 576 F.3d 840, 847 (8th Cir. 2009). We further conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying preliminary injunctive relief. See Phyllis Schlafly Revocable Tr. v. Cori, 924 F.3d 1004, 1009 (8th Cir. 2019) (standard of review).
Accordingly, the denial of a preliminary injunction is affirmed, and the remainder of the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Edie R. Ervin, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
