Commission and its members and the Director of the Department of Fish and Game, in their 

official capacities, challenging the revocation of their State of California Dungeness crab permits;

3. The parties agree that the case of Gilbertson v. Albright, 381 F.3d 965 (9th Cir. 

2004) provides the basis for application of Younger abstention principles to this Federal case in 

light of Plaintiffs pending state action and note that, in a prior case (Case No. C-06-06008 JSW), 

this Court entered a dismissal of an injunctive action involving the same parties on the basis of 

Younger abstention; 

4. The parties further agree that the ruling in Gilbertson v. Albright requires this Court 

in this damages action to stay all further proceedings pending the outcome of the state action 

referenced in paragaph 2, above, until all state court proceedings are finished. 

5. Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and request that that all further proceedings 

in this case be stayed pending further order of this Court.
