Howard MEREDITH, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. State of OREGON; Bruce A. Warner, Director of Oregon Department of Transportation; Jimmy L. Odom, Outdoor Advertising Technician, Defendants-Appellants.
    No. 01-35869.
    D.C. No. CV-01-06140-HO.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted April 1, 2002.
    Decided April 19, 2002.
    Before D.W. NELSON, THOMPSON and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

Appellants appeal the district court’s order denying Appellants’ motion to dismiss based on its conclusion that it was not required to abstain under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct 746, 27 L.Ed.2d 669 (1971). This order is not a final appealable order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Confederated Salish v. Simonich, 29 F.3d 1398, 1401-02 (9th Cir.1994). Nor is it immediately appealable under the collateral-order exception to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Id. at 1403. Finally, because the district court’s order is not “inextricably bound up with the injunctive order from which the appeal is taken,” Self-Realization Fellowship Church v. Ananda, 59 F.3d 902, 905 (9th Cir.1995), it is not subject to interlocutory review under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. DISMISSED.
