ORDER

1
The parties submit a joint "stipulation" to stay this appeal until the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decides the appeal before it and any Supreme Court review is completed.*


2
When a prolonged stay of proceedings is indicated, it is the practice of this court to dismiss an appeal without prejudice to reinstatement.  Hence, that is the course followed here.


3
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4
The City of Long Beach and the State of California's appeal is dismissed without prejudice to reinstatement within 30 days after completion of the Ninth Circuit or Supreme Court proceedings, whichever is later.



*
 The parties do not ask us to review any issues concerning the propriety of this appeal.  Hence, we do not reach any such issues
