    17  anywhere  of  a felony or a serious offense or who is not the subject of
    18  an outstanding warrant of arrest issued upon the alleged commission of a
    19  felony or serious offense which would disqualify  such  individual  from

    24  criminal justice services provides written notification of the  determi-
    25  nation under this subdivision.
