No. 95-15082.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Before: HALL, KOZINSKI and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

The District Court's injunction against implementation of Cal.Welf. & Inst.Code Sec. 14089(a) is indistinguishable from the injunction vacated in Clark v. Coye, 60 F.3d 600 (9th Cir. 1995). Clark requires a finding to determine whether the statute conflicts with federal Medicaid requirements before its implementation may be enjoined. The District Court had no jurisdiction to enjoin implementation of Cal.Welf. & Inst.Code Sec. 14087.46. There will be no dispute ripe for judicial resolution unless California obtains the federal waiver required for its implementation. See Anderson v. Green, 115 S. Ct. 1059, 1060 (1995). We therefore VACATE the order and REMAND for such proceedings, consistent with this disposition, as the District Court may deem appropriate.
