Filed Order for PUBLICATION: ORDER CERTIFYING QUESTION TO WASHINGTON STATE SUPREME COURT (RONALD M. GOULD, SANDRA S. IKUTA and JOHN R. TUNHEIM) We respectfully ask the Washington State Supreme Court to answer the certified question presented below, pursuant to Revised Code of Washington 2.60.020, because we have concluded that maritime law does not apply to these claims, and therefore it is necessary to ascertain the local law of [Washington] state in order to dispose of [this] proceeding and the local law has not been clearly determined. (SEE ORDER FOR FULL TEXT) The clerk of our court is hereby ordered to transmit forthwith to the Washington State Supreme Court, under official seal of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, a copy of this order and all relevant briefs and excerpts of record pursuant to Revised Code of Washington 2.60.010, 2.60.030 and WRAP 16.16. Further proceedings in our court are stayed pending the Washington State Supreme Court s decision whether it will accept review, and if so, receipt of the answer to the certified question. This case is withdrawn from submission until further order from this court. The panel will resume control and jurisdiction on the certified question upon receiving an answer to the certified question or upon the Washington State Supreme Court s decision to decline to answer the certified question. When the Washington State Supreme Court decides whether or not to accept the certified question, the parties shall file a joint report informing this court of the decision. If the Washington State Supreme Court accepts the certified question, the parties shall file a joint status report every six months after the date of the acceptance, or more frequently if circumstances warrant. It is so ORDERED. [10975528] [16-35314, 16-35368]
