PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal by the plaintiff from the denial by the district court ‍​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‍of her motion for an interlocutory injunction pending the hearing and determination of her complaint charging the defendants with a conspiracy to prosecute her in the State courts for ‍​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‍an alleged felony of which she asserts she is not guilty, for the purpose of discouraging her and others from engaging in civil rights activities.

We agree with the district ‍​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‍court that the evidence offered at the hearing on plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction failed to substantiate her charges against the defendants and that she wholly failed to ‍​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‍make a showing at that hearing which would entitle her to the interlocutory injunction which she sought. Since the order appealed from must be affirmed on this ground we ‍​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌‍do not reach the other issues which the appellant seeks to raise in this court.

Affirmed.
