Before: GOULD, PAEZ, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.

       On August 25, 2008, this Court was advised that the parties have resolved

the dispute that gave rise to this appeal. In light of this resolution, the motion to

vacate certification and for mandate is GRANTED. Our prior Order Certifying

Question To The Supreme Court Of Oregon is hereby VACATED. The question

certified to the Oregon Supreme Court shall be withdrawn and our clerk of court

shall transmit a copy of this order to the Oregon Supreme Court with advice that

we withdraw our certified question which is now moot in light of the parties’

resolution of the appeal. Also, the clerk of our court is instructed to issue the

mandate in this case.
