## Opinion text

COOK, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
We review a denial of injunctive relief for abuse of discretion. Blue Cross & Blue Shield Mut. v. Blue Shield Ass’n, 110 F.3d 318, 322 (6th Cir.1997). The district court’s determination will be disturbed only if the district court relied upon clearly erroneous findings of fact, improperly applied the governing law, or used an erroneous legal standard. Id. Despite the potential merit of the Beacon-Journal’s First Amendment claim, I cannot conclude that the district court abused its discretion in denying injunctive relief under the circumstances. I respectfully dissent.
