owned part of the sidewalk.   Originally, Jacobsen's rack was placed along side the Minneapolis Tribune rack.   After the government forced Jacobsen to move his rack, the government removed all the other racks from the front of the post office building.   All newsracks are now entirely on the municipal sidewalk.

The preliminary injunction is confined to the three locations described above.   However, in his brief to this court, Jacobsen also mentions five other post office locations where he maintains newsracks--Des Moines, Iowa;  Sioux Falls, South Dakota;  Rapid City, South Dakota;  Deadwood, South Dakota;  and Atchison, Kansas.   It is evident that he mentions these other locations not in an effort to be granted relief in this appeal,but simply to show examples of how a ruling against him would affect other locations.

Because of these events, Jacobsen sought an injunction against the government's removal of his newsracks at Aberdeen, Lincoln, and Fargo.   On January 6, 1986, the district court denied a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order sought by Jacobsen against the United States Post Office.   The Ninth Circuit overturned this ruling and directed the district court to "issue a preliminary injunction ordering the government not to remove any newspaper rack of the appellant which does not obstruct access or endanger pedestrians and which is placed on any perimeter sidewalk owned by the government adjacent to a post office."  Jacobsen v. United States Postal Serv., 812 F.2d 1151, 1154 (9th Cir.1987).
