1Opinion of the Court

LOURIE, Circuit Judge.

Eran Industries, Inc. (“Eran”) appeals from the decision of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska granting GP Industries, Inc.’s (“GPI’s”) motion for a preliminary injunction enjoining Eran from future correspondence with present and potential customers. GP Indus. v. Eran Indus., No. 08:06-CV-50, 2006 WL 3253450 (D.Neb. Nov. 8, 2006) (Preliminary Injunction Order). Because we determine that the court abused its discretion in granting the preliminary injunction, we reverse.
