2006. The Court HEREBY ORDERS that Hageseth shall serve a copy of this Order on

Defendants by no later than 2:00 p.m. today, September 18, 2006. A proof of such service must

be filed by no later than 4:00 p.m. today, September 18, 2006.

The Court will conduct a hearing on Hageseth’s application at 2:00 p.m. on September

19, 2006. In particular, the parties should be prepared address whether the Court should refrain

from adjudicating Hageseth’s application based on the Younger doctrine barring federal courts

from enjoining pending state criminal prosecutions. See Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971);

see also Delta Dental Plan of California, Inc. v. Mendoza, 139 F.3d 1289, 1294 (9th Cir. 1998)

(holding that abstention is required when “(i) the state proceedings are ongoing; (ii) the

proceedings implicate important state interests; and (iii) the state proceedings provide an

adequate opportunity to raise federal questions.”)

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 18, 2006
