Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida D.C. Docket No. 6:21-cv-01849-RBD-GJK

Before WILSON, JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges, and RUIZ, District Judge.

PER CURIAM

Plaintiffs-Appellants Moms for Liberty-Brevard County, FL and four of its members challenged as unconstitutional the Public Participation Policy utilized by Defendants-Appellees Brevard Public Schools and the individual members of its school board. Appellants filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction, which the district court denied. See Moms for Lberty-Brevard Cnty, FL v. Brevard Pub. Schs., 582 F.Supp.3d 1214, 1217 (M.D. Fla. 2022). Appellants timely appealed.

After review of the parties' briefs, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no abuse of discretion in the district court's thorough, well-reasoned order. See Schultz v. Alabama, 42 F.4th 1298, 1311 (11th Cir. 2022) ("We review a district court's order granting or denying a preliminary injunction for abuse of discretion."). We therefore affirm the district court's order denying Appellants' Motion for Preliminary Injunction.

AFFIRMED.

Honorable Rodolfo A. Ruiz II, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, sitting by designation.
