NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JAN 3 2019 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT KOUROSH KENNETH HAMIDI; et al., No. 17-15434 Plaintiffs-Appellants, D.C. No. 2:14-cv-00319-WBS-KJN v. SERVICE EMPLOYEES MEMORANDUM* INTERNATIONAL UNION, LOCAL 1000 and BETTY T. YEE, Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California William B. Shubb, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted December 18, 2018 San Francisco, California Before: GILMAN,** PAEZ, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.

Kourosh Hamidi (“Hamidi”) appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of appellee Service Employees International Union, Local 1000 (“SEIU Local 1000”). After the parties had filed their briefs on appeal,

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The Honorable Ronald Lee Gilman, United States Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting by designation. the Supreme Court issued its decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. 138 S. Ct. 2448 (2018). Although Janus did not directly address the question presented in this case, both parties agree that Janus impacts this case. Recognizing the significance of Janus, SEIU Local 1000 directed the state to stop deducting any fees from the paychecks of non-union employees. Given these developments, we vacate the district court’s judgment and remand for further proceedings in light of Janus. On remand, the district court may determine in the first instance whether any of Hamidi’s claims are moot.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
