OPINION

VARTABEDIAN, Acting P.J.

Fresno County, its district attorney, and its sheriff appeal from a preliminary injunction prohibiting them from enforcing certain portions of the county's ordinances regulating scrap metal dealers because the ordinances are preempted by state law. Concluding the trial court did not abuse its discretion under the relevant standards, we will affirm the order in question.
