The Tenants' complaint alleges that THA's actions violate their rights under: (1) the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. Secs. 1437 to 1437aaa-8 (1988 & Supp. IV 1992), and regulations promulgated thereunder; (2) the Brooke Amendment to the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1437a (1988 & Supp. IV 1992); (3) the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, U.S. Const. amend. XIV, Sec. 1; and (4) the laws of the State of Florida. Along with the complaint, the Plaintiffs also filed motions for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent THA from implementing the conversion to retail metering. After a hearing, the district court denied the Tenants' Motion for Preliminary Injunction, concluding that the Tenants had not demonstrated that they were substantially likely to succeed on the merits of their claims; it then denied the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order as moot. (R.1-26.) The Tenants now appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292(a)(1) (1988) the denial of their Motion for Preliminary Injunction. II. Standard of Review
