ORDER
FUSTE, District Judge.
Last December, pursuant to the doctrine set forth in Railroad Commission of Texas v. Pullman Co., 312 U.S. 496, 61 S.Ct. 643, 85 L.Ed. 971 (1941), we abstained from exercising jurisdiction over this case pending a determination of novel questions of local law by the courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. See Granados-Navedo v. Acevedo, 703 F.Supp. 170 (D.P.R. 1988). The local action is still pending, and plaintiffs now move that we lift the order of abstention and resume jurisdiction. A hearing on this question was held on July 26, 1989.
