Before COFFEY, EASTERBROOK and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

COFFEY, Circuit Judge.

Brownsburg Area Patrons Affecting Change ("BAPAC") and its founder and leader, John Patten,3 filed an interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) after their request to the district court for a preliminary injunction was denied. Because this case presents an important issue regarding the interpretation of a state statute, we certify this case to the Supreme Court of Indiana.
