MEMORANDUM**


2
Larry Dean DeYoung, an Arizona state pretrial detainee awaiting trial on state criminal charges, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal without prejudice of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971).   We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.


3
Federal courts will not interfere with pending state criminal proceedings absent extraordinary circumstances.  See World Famous Drinking Emporium v. City of Tempe, 820 F.2d 1079, 1082 (9th Cir.1987).   We agree with the district court that DeYoung has not demonstrated extraordinary circumstances warranting federal interference with his pending state criminal prosecution.   Accordingly, the district court properly dismissed DeYoung's habeas petition.


4
AFFIRMED.
