Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
The only issue before this court at this time is whether the trial judge acted contrary to law or abused his discretion in denying appellants’ petition for a preliminary injunction, pending trial on the merits of a civil action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
This was originally a class action, but the class character of the action was eliminated by stipulation of the parties.
We hold that the trial court’s refusal to issue the preliminary injunction was not erroneous as a matter of law, and not an abuse of its wide judicial discretion. 7 Moore’s Federal Practice 1625 (2d ed. 1968).
We decline to reach the constitutional questions raised by appellants where issues of fact are involved on less than a full record of an adversary proceeding. Appellants offered only affidavits on this issue, but no oral testimony; hence ap-pellees have had no opportunity to cross-examine on the merits.
We therefore affirm.
