November 5, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 41 ORDER re: #40 USCA Order: In accordance with the November 4, 2019 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in this matter, see Trump v. Vance., No. 19-3204, slip op. at 34 n.19 (2d "Cir. Nov. 4, 2019), the parties are hereby ordered to inform the Court by November 8, 2019 whether further proceedings, before this Court will be necessary in light of the Second Circuit's disposition.

November 4, 2019 Filing 40 USCA OPINION (Certified) as to #37 Corrected Notice of Appeal filed by Donald J. Trump USCA Case Number 19-3204. President Donald J. Trump filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to restrain the District Attorney of New York County from enforcing a grand jury subpoena served on Mazars USA LLP, a third-party custodian of the President's financial records. The district court (Marrero, J.) abstained from exercising jurisdiction and dismissed the Presidents complaint pursuant to Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971), but also ruled in the alternative that the President is not entitled to injunctive relief. On appeal, the President argues that abstention is not the course that should be taken here, and he asserts a temporary absolute presidential immunity that would forbid the grand jury from seeking his financial records in service of an investigation into conduct that predated his presidency. We agree that Younger abstention does not apply to the circumstances of this case. We hold, however, that any presidential immunity from state criminal process does not extend to investigative steps like the grand jury subpoena at issue here. We accordingly AFFIRM the district court's decision on the immunity question, which we construe as an order denying a preliminary injunction, VACATE the judgment of the district court dismissing the complaint on the ground of Younger abstention, and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.. Catherine O'Hagan Wolfe, Clerk USCA for the Second Circuit. Certified: 11/04/2019. (nd) Modified on 11/4/2019 (nd).
