Opinion by Judge PREGERSON
PREGERSON, Circuit Judge:
Steven Wiener, d/b/a Fantasyland Adult Books, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action challenging a San Diego County zoning ordinance (Ordinance No. 8015) that regulates adult bookstores, and the district court’s denial of his motion for a preliminary injunction. We have jurisdiction over the dismissal order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and over the denial of the preliminary injunction motion under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). Because we conclude that Younger abstention did not apply, we reverse and remand.
