The state takes the position that
the federal court has no jurisdiction
in the matter. That the suit was
brought by the state and the state
court ordered the appointment of a
receiver. Afterward the federal court
came in and ordered the appointment
of a receiver for the ninety days

receiver appointed In the federal
court before the state appointed a
