   MEMORANDUM

Optional Capital, Inc. (“Optiona”) contends that the district court abused its discretion in issuing a preliminary injunction preventing it from levying on the properties involved in this case. We disagree. The district court rightly found that there were serious questions going to the merits and that the balance of hardships tilted strongly against Optional. Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1131 (9th Cir.2011).

This court does not have jurisdiction at this time to review the district court’s interlocutory order on lien priorities because it is not “inextricably intertwined” with the preliminary injunction. Hendricks v. Bank of Am., N.A., 408 F.3d 1127, 1134 (9th Cir.2005).

Appellee’s motions to strike are denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
