*641 MEMORANDUM *

Richard Roberts, Jane Roberts, and Regal Property Holdings, Inc. (“Appellants”) appeal the district court’s entry of a preliminary injunction (“PI”) freezing certain assets and limiting their monthly expenses. We find no abuse of discretion and therefore affirm. Johnson v. Couturier, 572 F.3d 1067, 1078-79 (9th Cir. 2009).

Appellants contend the district court lacked authority to grant the PI because Stirling Mortimer Global Property Fund PCC Ltd. (“Stirling Mortimer”) does not assert any equitable interest in, or claim to, the targeted property. Not so. Stirling Mortimer’s operative complaint asserts a claim for imposition of a constructive trust, which we have held to support injunctive relief. Thomas Rubin v. Pringle (In re Focus Media, Inc.), 387 F.3d 1077, 1084-85 (9th Cir. 2004). Appellants’ reliance, in this regard, on Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc., 527 U.S. 308, 119 S.Ct. 1961, 144 L.Ed.2d 319 (1999), is misplaced. As we have previously observed, Grupo Mexi-cano concerned legal damages only, and does not prohibit issuance of injunctive relief where, as here, plaintiff has pled claims for relief that are equitable in nature. In re Focus Media, 387 F.3d at 1085.

Appellants alternatively argue that the PI was wrongly issued because Stirling Mortimer may move to stay proceedings, pending resolution of related litigation in the United Kingdom. But Appellants have neglected to identify an appropriate legal framework through which to assess this argument, or any authority supporting the substance of their position that a motion to stay undermines an earlier request for in-junctive relief.

Further, we reject Appellants’ various challenges to the sufficiency of the eviden-tiary record. Appellants maintain the district court placed too much weight on Stirling Mortimer’s verified complaint, which included some hearsay. The district court was permitted to consider the verified allegations as well as hearsay, Johnson, 572 F.3d at 1083, and here its reliance on those materials was justified because appellants (1) chose not to examine the witness who verified Stirling Mortimer’s allegations, and (2) did not “substantially controvert” the averments and instead merely issued a blanket denial of any wrongdoing. See, e.g., K-2 Ski Co. v. Head Ski Co., 467 F.2d 1087, 1088-89 (9th Cir. 1972). Appellants’ other attacks on the district court’s inquiry into the factual record likewise fail: the court did not clearly err in tracing specific assets to the alleged fraud, or limiting Appellants’ monthly expenses.

Finally, we need not address Appellants’ arguments concerning their later bankruptcy filing because those arguments were not raised below and do not appear meritorious in any case. Singleton v. Wulff, 428 U.S. 106, 120-21, 96 S.Ct. 2868, 49 L.Ed.2d 826 (1976).

AFFIRMED.
